Need advice

[spinnerd]

I need some advice on what I should do.

What needs to be done.

I need to develop an application with the following requirements:

A form where the user fills in the required info
And then page where this info is displayed according to the user's filter options.
The whole thing must run in php and mysql

My question:
Should I use a cms system.
Or is there something that I can use to help me develop this, maby like a generator.

My reason for asking is becouse I have to do a couple of these and time unfortunatly is not on my side.

Any advice and guidence will be appreciated.

This sounds so simple I wouldn't bother with any cms. In fact i could probably have written the application quicker than you wrote your question.

Hi,
I hope I can be a little help. You dont need a cms system or even mysql (unless you need to store the details in it.)

Your form should look something like
[code]
<form action="form_processor.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="text" name="age">
<input type="text" name="shoe_size">
<input type="text" name="IQ">
<input type="submit">
[/code]

The form_processor.php page should look like this
(Please not the vars are case sensitive)
[code]
<?php
echo "Thanks for entering your info";
echo "You entered the following info";
echo "Your name " . $name;
echo "Your age " . $age;
echo "Your shoe size " . $shoe_size;
echo "Your IQ " . $IQ;

//Now write the text to a file or whatever you need.
[/code]

I hope this helps

Thanx for the dude.appreciate it. Just one more question, how would I go about storing the the form data in an mysql database and then calling it from that database.
