1. Text file or DB 
My answer -> Learn how to use a database, it will make things much
easier

2. Checkbox

Try this:

<input type="checkbox" name="sports[]" value="Baseball">
<input type="checkbox" name="sports[]" value="Basketball">
<input type="checkbox" name="sports[]" value="Football">
<input type="checkbox" name="sports[]" value="Handballball">

then after submission, you could do the dump, or

foreach ($_POST["sports"] as $val)
        echo $val;
