Hi.

In the past I've only ever seen data submission available when you install things like Frontage extensions or SQL server on to the server. But I was wondering if there was anyway you can submit information directly from a html file into a database file, without any of those things?

I don't mind using a bit of SQL. Infact I'd love to use SQL if I could.

It's just I'm trying to build a web site but I don't have access to install anything like frontpage extensions or SQL server.

Thanks for any help.

At a minimum you will need to utilize some type of server-side processingsuch as PHP, ASP. I suppose FP will do it as well, but I've never used it.

What you do with the data on the receiving page is totally up to you. If you have a SQL, MySQL, or some other database then use it. If not, you can use a text file as a quasi database. There are classes/tutorials on how to do that.
