You're one of the good ones, so here we go tested and ready to rock for ya! 
cut-paste into a plain html file like mypage.htm
and cut-paste this into a php file called write.php in the same folder where the previous file is located
Make sure to upload these two files to a working website, pass a well-formatted json string with as many parameters as you like to save() and the use should be self-explanatory. You'll end up with a file called log.txt where these values are appended... Black magic

},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) { }
});
}

<a href="javascript:void()" onclick="save({'user':'bhw','ip':'1.1.1.1'})">save this</a>

Code:
<?php
if (!empty($_POST)) {
echo "PHP wrote: ".json_encode($_POST); // comment out
file_put_contents("log.txt", json_encode($_POST)."\n", FILE_APPEND);
} else echo "Nothing to see here. Fuck off";
