not actually a application form

[Zimbrul]

Hello , this is my first message , and here's my first question as well:


I am trying to do a online webform , but without accounts in MySQL or code in php , just pure HTMl , it just has to send the data in a text file , or at least use the same text file , and add data to it as the ppl use the "submit" button , that is all.


isn't a way to use pure html? no php , no asp , no perl , no mysql? It just sends text , that's al , no images , sounds or other stuff....

Thank you for your time.

Nope. All you can HTML to do is to send the form data to the server. You need something on the server side to receive that data and do whatever you want done with it. That "something" is the URL or filename you set as the value for the "action" attribute of your form tag, and it needs to be some sort of program, i.e.: PHP, ASP, Perl, etc. depending on what your web host supports and what you feel like coding in.
