deansp2001 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hi, im new to PHP and doing my best to learn as much as possible. So far Ive installed quite a few ready made scripts and edited them with success on a number of websites but for this new site Im not sure in what direction to head. What sort of script should I be looking for that will do the following? Theres so many available that im not to sure on what it would be called and what to search for! The user needs to be able to fill in an HTML form on the site which will then email the information to us and send out an auto responder with a link to download the trial software (so far so good, I can make a script that does this with an auto responder thinghy). But we also need the information entered on the form to be sent to an sql database so that we can monitor when the 30 day period is over and we can contact the user to see what they thought of the trial software. Any ideas on the best way for a newbie to do this would be great. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a matter of simply having the information inserted into a mysql database (assuming you have already created one for the script to use). This can be done properly using a few lines of PHP coding. You should make an effort to learn MySQL (in this case how to insert data into a table, a very simple thing to do which you can learn how to do in a matter of minutes).
