Question Form, Text Message, Wap


Hi Guys,

Ok here it is.

I am creating a site which takes in info from users. Both on internet and wireless devices.

I need the users input stored in a database both from the online and from the wireless devices. The only problem is I do not know how to do all this. Is there a tutorial or free scripts or a software that will collect the form information and save it. Also i need it to be able to create several different forms and different databases to store the info. I can program c, c++, html, wml etc a little asp but not a programmer by trade. So something complicated yet simple. If there is a software that is cheap can do this so I do not have to spend hours thats fine for me. Must be asp since I am doing some other scripts in this and the host is win based.

THANKS

To answer such a general question, one can only give the general answer that you will need to use CGI techniques. There are a few key, and somewhat distinct, elements to your requirements: HTML form generation from CGI scripts, database access (either true database manager access, such as a SQL database, or your own homebrew, flat file version), handling of forms by CGI scripts, and configuration of all the necessary components such as your web server, database manager, and possibly your coding environment.
There are numerous excellent online and printed tutorials that cover these topics. Judging by the level of your question, you may want to think about farming out the work to someone skilled in the art if you have significant time constraints. It is unlikely that you will find any canned application that exactly meets your specification.
