send a php webpage to folder and dispay the content as html

Question

would it be possible to have a html/php template on index.php say for example (a news webpage template and then anyone can edit the title, paragraphs only, then on submit it then sends the webpage with the data stored to a paste bin like url so who ever visits that url say http://localhost/news/jjeh3bndjks they would only be able to view to content and not edit.

I would like to use something like this

<?php
if ($_POST) {
    $pasteID = uniqid();
    $paste = fopen("pastes/".$pasteID.".php", "w");
    $contents = $_POST['pasteContents'];
    fwrite($paste, $contents);
    header('Location: /pastes/'.$pasteID.'.php');
}
?>

<form action="" method="POST">
  <input type="text" name="pasteContents" placeholder="write here" />
  <button type="submit" tabindex="0">submit</button>
</form>

but for some reason when i add another input box or try to send anymore data it fails or just gives me the last input given is there a way to send a whole page this way?

any help would be appreciated

Can you give an example of a code that fails. And what do you mean by `fails`? Is there an error message? — Mosh Feu, Dec 11 '18 at 19:44
not errors but it either shows nothing even though i entered text in both fields when i add another input box or even if i try the same code but change the names it jus shows me the text i entered in the second box and ignores the first box is there a way to send more code this way eg. more html tags ect? — cerbres mafias, Dec 11 '18 at 19:50
Try to follow [this](https://stackoverflow.com/a/8207498/863110) answer. First `dump` the whole `POST` object see how it looks. Then, try using `ile_get_contents('php://input');` — Mosh Feu, Dec 11 '18 at 21:10
@MoshFeu this is var dump after i done what u said `array(1) { ["pasteContents"]=> string(14) "this is test 2" } this is test 2` — cerbres mafias, Dec 12 '18 at 15:03
It's all good. But this is a simple question :) Quick search: [Short explanation](https://stackoverflow.com/a/23304593/863110), example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8207498/863110 — Mosh Feu, Dec 12 '18 at 15:04
@MoshFeu it ignores the first input box of (this is test 1) which i entered, do you know a way i can get both data fields? — cerbres mafias, Dec 12 '18 at 15:06
Can you post in the question the code you are using with the 2 inputs? — Mosh Feu, Dec 12 '18 at 15:07
You have the same `name` attribute so the second one override the first. — Mosh Feu, Dec 12 '18 at 15:50
@MoshFeu when i try it with diffrent names it shows up blank, would you be able to try this for me and show example of 2 or more fields working? i would appreachiate it — cerbres mafias, Dec 12 '18 at 17:39

You can use file_get_contents with the following code:

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {

    parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input'));
    echo param1 . '<br />' . param2;
} else {
?>

<form method="post">
    <input type="text" name="param1" value="param1" />
    <input type="text" name="param2" value="param2" />
    <input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
<?php } ?>

(You can test it here)

Although, I did success to use $_POST too:

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {    
    echo $_POST['param1'] . '<br />' . $_POST['param2'];
} else {
?>

<form method="post">
    <input type="text" name="param1" value="param1" />
    <input type="text" name="param2" value="param2" />
    <input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
<?php } ?>
