The following script was supposed to be a really simple way to gather some very basic information from a web form and organize it in files based on the names of the submitted parameters. The parameters are in groups and are named groupX where group is the group name and X is a number. In other words, position1, position2, otherthing1, otherthing93, etc.

Everything works great except that only the first parameter in each group is actually written to the data files.

Any ideas?

Thanks! =)

    print $RESULTS_FILE $data . "\n";
    close($RESULTS_FILE);
}

#Return meaningful output to user
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n", $template->output;
