Need some website coding help. Making forms which take the data and present it on a diff. page in freewebs?

On my site I want a page where you can fill out a form with data (text), and I want this data to all be saved and put on another page where it can be viewed any time.


If possible I would like it so that as more submissions come in, they are all just added on after the previous on the same page.





Thanks!

What your describing is a form that sends information to a database. Here is what you need.





1. HTML Form


2. PHP


3. MySQL Server





I can do this for you for and host it for $20/month

Reply:You would need a CGI script for this, it can't be done with any regular scripting language. A CGI script is a script written in a programming language (such as C++ or Pascal). Once a CGI script is written and placed on a website, you have to set the name of the program under the form action atribute. For example:





%26lt;form method=post action=


"www.site.com/cgiscript.exe"%26gt;


(... form input goes here ...)


%26lt;/form%26gt;





If you don't know a programming language very well, heres a good list of free CGI scripts in C++:

Well, good luck!!! ;-)
