Creating A Form

[The Wild One]

Well here it goes. My first question.

 

I want to create a form that a user can fill out to obtain an email account on my site.

They need to be able to enter their name, password and a user ID. once submited it would create the account and return a page stating that the account is created with instructions on how to access the Webmail. It would also need to check for Dup ID & if one found would need to return a differnet page to try again.

 

I know it's alot, but I'm sure we have some sharp webbies out there.

I know how to create the form and add the fields and all that good stuff. It's what goes on under the sheets I can't figure out.

Any Help would be great.

Thanks In Advance The Wild One Thumbs Up

Moving this to different forum for better exposure.

Hey Bruce,

Where are you going to move it too?

I moved it to the scripting forum. That's what you will need to process the form you create.

Wild one, I too need this on my site....My limited knowledge tells me that you can have a html form feed> php web server application> your mysql database records consisting of users

 

here is sample form I have built for my site...U can use it if u like...

 

Take a look at Using DW>developing applications rapidly> building a record insert page (all servers) topic

 

-Building a record insert page (all servers)

-An HTML form that lets users enter data

-An Insert Record server behavior that updates the database,
