mrbios Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hi Everyone, Let me start by saying i need any help put to me in dumb person terms, i know nothing but the bare bare basics of most web coding let alone php, enough to make very simple pages and forms. On to my problem... What i am aiming for us a single web page which takes a list of names from a file, generates a 2 column table, makes the second column into boxes where data can be entered in to, then i want it to be submitted to email in the form of a html email, the email doesn't need any fancy formatting or colour scheme, just want the the table of names and entered information sent Now this is how far i have got (with help obviously): <body> <h1 align="center"><u>7B Praise Points</u></h1> <div id="contact-wrapper"> <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" id="contactform"> <?php $file = file("7B.txt"); $count = 0; print "<table cellspacing='2'>\n <tr><td>Student Name</td><td>Number of Praise Points</td></tr>\n"; foreach($file as $line){ $line = trim($line); $split = split("\t",$line); print "<tr>\n<td>$split[0]<input name='name$count' type='hidden' value='$split[0]'></td>\n<td>$split[1]<input name='points$count' type='hidden' value='$split[1]'></td>\n</tr>"; $count++; } print "</table>"; ?> <p> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit"> </p> </form> </div> </body> So i've got it generating the table from the list of names in the file called "7B.txt" all i need to be able to do is making the second column in to a data entry box and generating the email Starting with the first problem of making the second column in to data entry boxes how do i go about doing this?
