form to email to database

[tbs010]

Hi, I have a form on my site that the viewer puts in their name and email and favorite product. When they hit send it goes to my email. I do not have MYSQL because I have free webhosting so i don't ahve any database stuff. Is there a way that I can take stuff from my email and have it automatically entered into a database form on my website. I heard someone talking about Microsoft TSC or something.. Thanks

You'll need to move to a better host.

Hi -
Ray's suggestion is probably the best, but just for snicks, you could ask your host if they allow .cgi scripts - you could use a flat-file d-base [merely a .txt file!] to save the info. from an e-mail form that way, if I remember correctly.

Try a search for free cgi/perl scripts if it's possible to use them...

Good luck,
El

I believe Cox == Comcast. I used to be on Comcast and they offer nothing but straight web services; no back end.
