Hey there,

Can someone please help me?

I have a web page which has a form that asks the following:

Please enter Machine Number:_________________________
Please enter date to action:________________________
Please enter your name:___________________________
Please enter your contact number:____________________________
{Submit}

How can I collect the data that they have entered, and convert it into an XML file, which will be stored on a folder in my server and emailed to me?

Any code you can offer would be great!

Thanks in advance
Alanimal

usually, the data collection is done by the browser (don't forget to set the name attributes) and sent to the server script mentioned in the action attribute in <form>.
How you proceed with those data depends on which server side script you are using (php, asp, perl, ...) for those languages have different syntaxes for accessing the sent values.
then you can serialize the values into xml with either wddx or hardcode it and save to a file.

Unfortunately I can't help you with asp (I'm doing only php), but you can search google about this topic (or post a question in the asp forum).
