Greetings. I am about to start a project for a hospital in which they want an online job application that is then mailed to HR. They would like to have it arrive in Word format so HR can just print it out. In addition, it would be nice to be able to attach a resume along with the application.

I have not begun this, and am trying to figure out what I need to do. I'm not a programmer, but I can fuss with existing code to make it work for me. I have used javascript menus in the past, which were kindly suggested to me by folks on this site.

This site will be hosted on SBC, so I'm sure I'll be able to have whatever server side code I need. I just don't know what I need! :)

Any suggestions, pointers, websites, help are most appreciated!

simple and free stuff will be php+apache web server,just allow the user to upload MS Word file and then put in a directory from where you can access the file...

I'm afraid I do not understand what you meant. Do you mean that if the host uses an Apache server, there will be scripts I can use? Or that I should search for php+apache in a search engine?

Thanks, ya'll

So the email should arrive as a MS word file with their resume (also in word) as another file attached to the same email?

In the meantime check this thread out for code to attach a file in php.

It sounds like that code could work, and it's getting good reviews from others. And what you said above, yes, that is what they want. Reading the comments, sounds like Outlook has problems, and that is the mail this hospital uses. Why? Can't account for some people's taste, I guess.

Might I email you privately in the future? I hate to display my ignorance to the world. :o

Thanks again! Julie

Sure you can. just note that this question isn't displaying any particularly awful lack of knowledge ;)
