Hi there.
Im not too experienced with html or but I'm setting up a Website and I'd like my visitors to be able to fill out a form, then I'd like the information they fill in to be automatically put on my website so it can be publicly viewed. How do I set that up? |

Re: Publicly viewable form results?
That would require PHP (there are other ways but PHP is the best/easiest way)
Resources for PHP are here.

Re: Publicly viewable form results?
You would definitely want to check what's being posted first becuase people could put absolutely anything and it could get yu into serious trouble and you would be held responsible becuase it's your site.
My advice would be to store the article/form info in a database or text file, and then you check it to make sure it's ok. If it is ok, then you can post it on your website....a bit like a moderator. |

Re: Publicly viewable form results?
Are you setting up something similar to a blog? If so, try wordpress - that's easy to implement and customise. You do need php and a MySQL database for it though.

Re: Publicly viewable form results?
Yeah, define your requirements first, what you want to do then worry about the how. If you are trying to post results of a poll or survey, or comments there are a lot of ready made scripts out there and tutuorials.
Be aware of security risks, though. Good Luck! I'd like to see it when you're done. |
