I need to create a form for a petition.
The form needs to have a Name field[Text input], Email field[Text input] and another field that would be a String of letters and numbers.
After the user fills in the Text input fields, I need to have a database that saves that data from the form somewhere, so I need to have a list of People[maybe an Array?] that have signed the petition[that is completed the fields and pressed the submit button]
Where do I get started? What do I google for to learn how to create this myself
[I know how to add the Text input from HTML, I can customize them with CSS. That’s easy, but how do I make the form submit what the user inputs[Name and Email and the random string] in some database? or something that saves all the data and pushes it into an array ?
Can I find something already made that I can customize ?
I am not a programmer, but I do have programming knowledge with ActionScript3, HTML/CSS and a little bit of Java Script.
Help! THX
You are going to have to learn some form or programming language for that – PHP, ASP etc. so I suppose it depends on the time-scales for the project. In the interest of speed and accuracy for my dissertation I used an online service, I can build it but didn’t have the time. There are lots:
