Hello all,
Right now, I'm kind of oblivious as to how forms get processed, but I'l like
to be enlightened. Right now, All the websites I run use the FrontPage
extensions. I assume these extensions do things like form submission, guest
book maintenace, hit counter counts, etc. All my sites are manually coded,
but I do use the built-in guest book, built-in hit counter, and forms.
Right now, when someone submits a form, I get an e-mail from my webhost with
all the form information in it. The e-mail body looks like this:
Name: Joe
E-Mail: na**@isp.com
Address: 123 Main Street
Address 2:
City: Anytown
State: Any State
ZIP: 123456
Country: Any Country
B1: Submit
If I was to get rid of the FrontPage extensions and do the form submission
the "standard" way, how would I go about doing it? Would it be with PHP?
CGI? Would I have to do the scripting myself, or would my web-host have
these scripts available as "plug-ins" of some sort.
I don't really know what the difference between these server side scripting
languages are, so this may be a more complicated question than I realize.
The more I know, the more I *want* to know :>)
Thanks in advance for all your advice.
