Hello, I have been going crazy trying to find code that will take what is on the form and display it below the form like a journal entry. I know how to email the form to myself but I want it too automatically add the info to the page like this:<br />
<br />
Form:<br />
<br />
How much sleep did you get |drop down box|<br />
How did you feel today? |text box|<br />
How do you feel about your performance? |text box|<br />
What worked for you? |text box|<br />
What didn't work for you? |text box|<br />
What are your plans for next week? |text box|<br />
[submit button]<br />
<br />
Journal: After hitting submit the following appears at the top (or bottom) of the list of entries:<br />
<br />
Automatic date insertion<br />
Sleep: (selected from drop down box)<br />
Felt: (text from text box)<br />
Performance: (text from text box)<br />
Worked: (text from text box)<br />
Didn't work: (text from text box)<br />
Plans: (text from text box)<br />
<br />
Please Help!<br />
Kristonia:confused:<!--content-->You'll need to use a server-side technology of some sort. Ask if your web hosing provider has PHP and MySQL enabled on the server. PHP is an open-source server-side scripting language and MySQL is an open-source database technology.<br />
<br />
I'm afraid there is no really easy way to do what you want. There might be journal entry scripts you can Download <!--more--> off the Internet somewhere. Try a google search.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in the PHP/MySQL route, head to <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.php.net">www.php.net</a><!-- w --> to learn about and Download <!--more--> PHP. <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mysql.com">www.mysql.com</a><!-- w --> is the place to get the MySQL DB management system. The last thing you'll need is the Apache web server - <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.apache.org">www.apache.org</a><!-- w --> - Then you can get PHP and MySQL running on your home computer without the need for an Internet connection.<br />
<br />
If you don't want to get that involved, just find a web host that has PHP and MySQL enabled on their web servers. But php.net still has lots of information about PHP, including full documentation (but no tutorials).<br />
<br />
And there's always the PHP forum here too.<!--content-->
