Java or JS? form data organization

[thelevybreaks]

I'm planning on making a form for my site that takes a few pieces of information (name, e-mail, etc.) What's very important is how I can organize the saved info once it has been entered, being able to view it ranked by when it was entered, etc. What would be a good option for doing this?

By the way: the simpler, the better!

If by JS you mean javascript then its probably not feasible with it, there are some fancy new things people are doing with it but its client side and the user can manipulate it.

What would be best is either a database or a text file, stored on the web server. With a server side script handler that puts the data in to the text file or database, and/or another script to display it for you or to use it however you want.

I would recommend using php and either a text file or a MySql database.

I noticed that you mentioned an email address, if its a contact form want to make then you dont evern really need to store the data, if you make the php script send an email when it handles each submit to a specific email account, all the data will be in the account and you will know straight away. If you use a good mail provider all the address will be saved within the account.
