So, what is stopping you? You want to do it by yourself, do so. You want help, we have a freelance section where you can hire someone, defeating the purpose of “creating a webpage by myself.”

Wow… whats with the attitude, i just asked for help. Your also deleted another post of mine on another php forum

#4

No attitude. You want help but have done nothing but post requirements. The only post I removed was the duplicate you posted.

What help do you need?

First thing I would recommend is to get a book on PHP. It will help you a great deal in the long term.

What do you want to do with the data? Save it to a database? Send it in an email?

One place to look is here, http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp. The tutorials section here need to be updated a bit.

I was hoping to add it to a database

Start here. http://www.phphelp.com/forum/the-occasional-tutorial/using-php-with-databases-%28pdo-tutorial%29/. This uses the updated database interaction method as opposed to the older and dangerous mysql_ functions.

Well, there are lots of steps to create your system. First, the form which you have in good shape.
Next, you need to add in some validation to protect the data and make sure it is valid.
Then, some PHP code to store the data inside your database.

Here is a link to a tutorial on forms and how to access it. On the left you will see other areas of interest
that would help you with other areas. Hope it helps…

Here is another tutorial example with full code. Of course, you will have to edit it to link to your database
and your id’s and passwords. But, hopefully, these two will help you get started.

Hope that helps get you started…
