Writing form input in .txt using Php

Question

How do I duplicate form boxes and the codes in my php to "grab the newly added form boxes"? I'm planning to create 4 form boxes (email, password, contact, Bio) but I'm already stuck on the second one. codes:

<form action="#" method="post">
 <input type="text" name="email" class="emailSubmitSidebar" placeholder=" Your Email">
 <input type="text" name="password" class="password" placeholder="Password">
 <input type="submit" name="submit" class="submitButton">
</form>

<?php
if(isset($_POST["submit"]))
{

$fileHandle = fopen('info.txt', 'w+')
        OR die ("Can't open file\n");
$email=$_POST["email"];
$password=$_POST["password"];
$result = fwrite ($fileHandle, $email, $password);
if ($result)
     {
         print '<script type="text/javascript">'; 
         print 'alert("Email added!")'; 
         print '</script>';  
    } else {
        print '<script type="text/javascript">'; 
        print 'alert("Email not added!")'; 
        print '</script>';  
    };
fclose($fileHandle);
}
?>

PHP code keeps failing, direct fix for this?

fwrite takes three parameters, but the last one is the length and is optional. you need to concat the second and third parameters like in framos' answer — I wrestled a bear once., Dec 23 '15 at 16:36

Change this line:

$result = fwrite ($fileHandle, $email."-".$password);

fwrite takes a single string a parameter, you can't pass two parameters

your explanation is wrong, yet your answer is correct and contradicts the explanation... – I wrestled a bear once. Dec 23 '15 at 16:33
@Pamblam. I don't agree with your severe judgment: his explanation is not _wrong_ but only clumsy. First because of "single string a parameter" instead of "single string parameter". Then and above all because when he says "you can't pass two parameters" he's talking about the _query parameters_ that the OP wants to write. So I upvote to compensate. – cFreed Dec 24 '15 at 00:16
