dreamweaver forms?
Im using the latest version of Dreamweaver and plan on using a linux server.
I understand how to create the form in dreamweaver, but what I dont get is what do I do to see the results? The form has: E-mail field upload image checkboxes submit button Where do the results go when someone hits submit? Im guessing I need to set up something, like a database but im not sure what that is or how to do that, please guide me! Can the results be e-mailed to me? or put into a folder in my computer? I dont know much about coding, I always use the design option, so please try to answer this as clearly as possible. Last edited by GeekyBabe; Jan 27th, 2008 at 23:16. |

Using PHP. And yes, you can email it. Check:

Re: dreamweaver forms?
so I read that link you sent me, and im still a little confused...is that even usable with dreamweaver? I can take the form I already made in dreamweaver and just download his code that will direct it to my e-mail account? then where do I put the code? I dont know, this doesnt seem right.
Im even more confused now... |

Re: dreamweaver forms?
Like what mentioned above, using PHP/Mysql will solve your problem. Also, little js for minor validation. There are a lot of tutorials out there.

Re: dreamweaver forms?
Any code can be used with Dreamweaver: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, ASP etc. etc.
You insert PHP tags at the start of your page and make sure you save your page with the extension of .php (not .html/.htm). A simple PHP form can be used to email you what users have inputted without using a database. |

Re: dreamweaver forms?
I could suggest ASP as well

Dreamweaver is a layout design tool and the Design view of Dreamweaver should not be used for developing a site. You need to learn to hand-code. I know that it isn't the easiest thing in the world to do, but if you want to do websites and you learn to do it, you will save yourself headaches and HOURS of time.
