How can PHP developers effectively store form submissions in a text file for later viewing and management, as requested in the forum thread?

To effectively store form submissions in a text file for later viewing and management, PHP developers can use file handling functions to append the form data to a text file. This can be achieved by capturing the form data, formatting it, and then writing it to a text file. Additionally, developers can create a simple interface to display the stored form submissions for easy management. 

<?php
// Capture form data
$form_data = $_POST['form_data'];

// Format the form data
$formatted_data = date('Y-m-d H:i:s') . ": " . $form_data . "\n";

// Open the text file in append mode
$file = fopen('form_submissions.txt', 'a');

// Write the formatted data to the text file
fwrite($file, $formatted_data);

// Close the file
fclose($file);

// Display a success message
echo "Form submission stored successfully!";
?>
