Saving data from a form into a file

Hey everybody,
Sorry, I am really new to PHP coding and such but a project kind of got thrust on me. I need to create a a form for people to input some information and then be able to collect the information. It would be preferred that when they hit the "submit" button that it saves to a file rather than email because we expect high volumes of responses and don't want to be flooded with emails. I have the form created, which you can see at http://bookstore.weber.edu/jaystest1.asp. The code is as follows:
Code: <html>
<head>
<title>Congratulations</title>
<script>
function ShowMenu(num, menu, max)
{
//num is selected value, menu is the name of the div, max is the number of divs
for(i = 1; i <= max; i++){
//add number onto end of menu
var menu_div = menu + i;
//if current show
if(i == num) {
document.getElementById(menu_div).style.display = 'block';
} else {
//if not, hide
document.getElementById(menu_div).style.display = 'none';
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Congratulations</h3>
<form action="process.php" method="post">
Name (First & Last): <input name="Name" type="text" size="20">
Phone Extension: <input name="Phone" size="24" tpye="text">
Gift Item #: <input name="Item" size="30" tpye="text">
Select your preferred method of delivery:
<select id='deliverymethod'
onChange="javascript: ShowMenu(document.getElementById('deliverymethod').value,'divColor', 6);">
<option value='0'>Please select one
<option value='1'>Pick-up at bookstore
<option value='2'>Deliver to my office
<option value='3'>Deliver to my home
</select>
<div id='divColor1' style="display: none;">
</div>
<div id='divColor2' style="display: none;">
Office Number: <input name="officenumber" type="text" value="" size="5">
Mail Code: <input name="mailcode" type="text" value="" size="9">
</div>
<div id='divColor3' style="display: none;">
Street Address: <input name="street" type="text" value="" size="22">
City: <input type="text" name="city" value="">
State: <input name="state" type="text" value="" size="2" maxlength="2">
Zip Code: <input name="zipcode" type="text" value="" size="5" maxlength="5">
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
I had been searching the internet tryping to find ways to get the information to be saved to a file, but haven't had any luck in doing so. Here is the PHP that I found and modified. I tried putting it both at the top of the main page, and also in the "process.php" site but nothing has worked. Any helped would be greatly appreciated!
Code: <?php
$saving = $_REQUEST['saving'];
if ($saving == 1){
$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$item = $_POST['item'];
$officenumber = $_POST['officenumber'];
$mailcode = $_POST['mailcode'];
$street = $_POST['street'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$state = $_POST['state'];
$zipcode = $_POST['state'];
$file = "webergifts.txt";
$fp = fopen($file, "a") or die("Couldn't open $file for writing!");
fwrite($fp, $name, $phone, $item, $officenumer, $mailcode, $street, $city, $state, $zipcode) or die("Couldn't write values to file!");
fclose($fp);
echo "Saved to $file successfully!";
}
?>
