question on making forms in html...

[Darien]

Hi fellas,

This is what I'd like to do:

create a site where users can enter information in a form and the info will be automatically placed into a newly generated web page.

How do I go about doing this?

Thanks,

Darien

In what language? You can't do it in regular HTML, you need some sort of scripting language that'll handle passing variables from one page to the next and generating dynamic pages from there, like Perl, PHP or ASP. All will work, but it's easiest in PHP if you have it available.

any links on sites that give tutorials on php?

Ummm you could use just plainjane client side javascript to do that. You don't need any server-side scripting like PHP, ASP for something simple like this........

Try php.net. The turtorial combined with the online manual will give you the most info you need.
Othervise google.com is a good search tool.
