How do I save data, that would normally be in a database, to a SharePoint folder or the site's root folder

I'm working on a project for my employer that is off-job-description for me. I am not in my department's IT/WebDev departments. That being said, my department is trying to streamline a process that is horribly done right now. Here's what I'm trying to do..

I want a form that can be submitted on a local computer (no PHP library at this time - ticket opened with IT for months now). It will then be used to populate a calendar (which I have no issue programming and filling automatically with PHP normally, but like I said - no library).

Basically - I need to be able to save the input data locally on a SharePoint folder and be able to "grab" that data when the site is loaded.

Again, I have no problem with the display/structure parts - I just need to know a good way to save/load the data (long term) until my IT gets its... stuff... together and get's me a php library and SQL Database.

I'm not looking for any type of script help or anything. I can learn what I need. I just need ideas of what type of function or something I can use. If you have a website with some tutorials or at least documentation for it, I'm happy to read up myself.

Browsers cannot access your local filesystem and are heavily sandboxed to protect you and your data from nefarious websites (even if you have written them).

As such, your only option of writing data to a Sharepoint folder is to leverage a server of some kind. This can be created locally on your own PC, or on a spare one for the time being.

You might to need to contact your IT admin, so that they can grant you access to your Sharepoint, so that your PHP code can read/write to your Sharepoint folder(s).

Good luck!
