I've been trying to learn how to set up an HTML form for online data entry. Suggestions for tutorials?

I'm at the point where I need to learn how to set up an HTML form to allow visitors to this page to provide feedback or information that gets stored in a database. I can see how to do it in FrontPage, but I don't necessarily want to use FrontPage. Ideally, I would be able to access the data stored by user feedback wherever I can access the internet. Is this possible?





I have been working with and teaching FrontPage, but can't quite get this feature to work either within FrontPage or using HTML code. What I'm looking for is a good online tutorial that walks me through every step and an idea of additional resources that need to be set up for this to work.





Thanks so much in advance for your suggestions.

For HTML forms to function, they require a server-side programming language, such as ASP or PHP (I personally recommend PHP, cos I use it). You need to learn either of these languages (like PHP) first, before moving on to inserting the collected data into database and retrieveing it from the database. Try this link if its useful:

鈼?If you don't understand form code you can use one of the following online tools to make it for you. Then paste the code into your editor. You'll need a form action to add to it or the form won't function.
