Help getting form entry to embedded html on next page...

[system]

Hi

Hoping someone may have an answer for me here following the last several hours of me trying to figure something out myself using Google as my lead! Needless to say I’m not a programmer so thought I’d put this out and see if anyone can help.

I’m trying to put a quick page together that I can mainly describe to work similar to tinyurl, or one of those url shorteners.

What I want is for the user to fill in a single field on a form, hit submit, a new page loads that contains the form entry data but actually embedded in the page html code and for this new page to be saved. That’s pretty much it. It’s probable 10x more complicated than it sounds to someone like myself, and I appreciate any advice given.

Thank you
Daniel

Hi,

For you to create something similar to tinyurl, you can do the same thing by using mod_rewrite.

For you to save the data from a form, you need to play with database. In PHP, we normally use MySQL to do this. I know this answer too general but your answer is not specific enough. Although, since you are not a programmer i believe you wouldn’t understand even if i go in detail with it.

Hope that gives you some hint. Perhaps you can check my website.
