Hi guys,

My first post so here goes (sorry if it's in the wrong place!).

I want to set up a single page site that allows the viewer to enter a small amount of data (email and name)and maybe a couple of multi choice questions.

The data is to be stored and retrieved by me only, in a database type way. the page will be static and have no dynamic content as such.

Can anyone advise on the best way to go about acieving this and maybe a tutorial or something please (is there a simpler way than a database driven site?).

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

This might sound like nit-picking, but it's an important distinction: the page you're talking about is dynamic, even if the content it serves up ( some text boxes and labels ) is static. Because it's going to talk to a database ( to add a record ) it needs to have programming.

So that means if you're on a MSFT server you're going to use ASP or ASP.NET to write some basic logic to connect to a database, and fire off an insert command or a stored procedure in the database. If you're using Linux and Apache, you'll probably do more or less the same thing with PHP.
