Hi, I am reading values from a form and writing them to a text file. I keep getting a syntax error for outfile=open("filename", "a")I cant see it, does any body else.


There isn't an error in the statement. Try to pare down your code to a short example that causes the error. Then post the actual error and code segment. It's more likely there's an unfinished something before this line...

fileName = "requests.txt"
# Create instance of FieldStorage Form = cgi.FieldStorage()

# Get data from fields
if Form and Form['submit'].value == "Submit":
        
        the_name = Form.getvalue('name')
        the_email = Form.getvalue('email')
        the_address = Form.getvalue('address')
        the_telephone = Form.getvalue('telephone')
        
IpAddress = cgi.escape(os.environ["REMOTE_ADDR"]);
        Time = "(time.localtime()):", time.asctime(time.localtime())

entry = name + '|' + email + '|' + address + '|' + telephone + '|' + IpAddress + '|' + Time + "\n"




        outfile=open("fileName", "a")
        outfile.write(entry)
        outfile.close()
