I think this is a really huge question, and I am not sure where to post it, (as in, I am not sure which forum thread to post it in). I will be so appreciative of any help, though.
I usually use FrontPage, but I do know a bit of scripting. I am usually a quick learner. I have a website idea, and I need to know how to do two or three huge things.
1. How do I create a series of forms on a page that a user can fill out and then it will automatically post to a new page? For example, when a user creates a profile on here, on MySpace, on a dating site, etc.
2. In the same token, how do I have those forms generate a username and password automatically, like this site just did when I registered?
3. How would I set up an e-mailing system, like is on eBay or something, where when a user creates their profile, the system knows that whatever someone else writes in their form will be forwarded to their real e-mail account or to an e-mail account I have set up without seeing their actual e-mail address?
This is a crazy amount of stuff to learn, I realize, but if you could direct me to a website where I can cram this stuff into my brain over the weekend, that would be great! :-) Any info would help. Thanks, in advance!
