I'm building a website and I want to have automated feedback.?

Question

I want to have forms in the web site that will automatically send me emails and store info. in data base's. First, what type of database software can I incorporate into a website to do such a thing. Is access a database software that can do such a task.

Basically, if I have a form in my site for a persons name and email address and I once the submit button is hit, I want the info. to be automatically inserted into a database and/or emailed to me.

Can anyone tell me what is needed for that to be done? Please be as detailed as possible.

Thanks

Answer 1

You're right Microsoft access can do that (.asp), however, I'd recommend .php because most websites use it - bascially you need to use a server and build a website which is compatible with server side coding (e.g. ASP and PHP).

If you need a web host I can help you out - http://ilobby.co.uk

So, for your form, if you are creating it "flat", you'd create your form in HTML coding within a filename extension (.html or .php/.asp doesn't matter). then create your serverside coding - i specialise in mysql database and php - so if you are to use mysql and php, create a php file with the code to process the form and submit to mysql - etc etc.
