How do I write a POST variable to a text file within SharePoint 2010

Question

I’m working on a project that uses SharePoint 2010. I need to write a POST variable to a file using an ajax call.

If I were using PHP I would use the fwrite() function to write the POST to a file.

Here is how I envision my solution working. When you go to notarealwebsite.com and submit the form, I envision using an ajax call to write the file. The ajax on the index.php would look like:

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: 'save-text.php',
    data: {json: JSON.stringify(strJson)}
});

In PHP I would pass the POST variable into the save-text.php file and its code would look like this:

<? php
$file = fopen("file.txt","w");
fwrite($file, $_POST['json']);
fclose($file);
?>

Does SharePoint have an equivalent function I can use to save the POST to a file?

You don't give us too much here...

You can develop something in JavaScript using a third library like SharepointPlus with the createFile function

You'll do:

$SP().createFile({
  content: JSON.stringify(strJson),
  destination: "http://mysite/Shared Documents/file.txt",
  url:"http://mysite/",
  after:function() {
    alert("File saved");
  }
});

The createFile of SharepointPlus uses the CopyIntoItems web service of Sharepoint.
