I have made a simple site that generates random number. I want to record how many times a specific number comes up.
Is there anyway I can use javascript to write to a Local .txt File on the server?
or do I have to learn PHP?

Assuming it needs to work for many users Node.JS can, either way some language server-side will be needed.Spencer Wieczorek– Spencer Wieczorek2016-10-03 04:51:57 +00:00Commented Oct 3, 2016 at 4:51

If you want to keep track of the number of times a random number comes up for a single client/browser, you can use localStorage. If you want to keep track of the number of times the random number occurs across all executions, you'll need some sort of server-side processing.

You want to use
localStorage, sessionStorage will be gone once the browser is closed.

@SpencerWieczorek - Thank you
If you want to avoid any server side processing and this data is critical then you can try GoogleAnalytics code to capture and analyaze the randomly generated data.
