RE: [PHP] Online Form Creation
Now, if you need help with writing the PHP that handles the data, then great! This is the right place to ask! But we need to see code you attempted, in order to know your level of understanding, and so be able to guide better. Hi Godiva, I appreciate all the great comments/suggestions from everyone. I probably could have worded my initial email a little better. Thank you to Tedd as well.

Christopher, Maybe Tedd was a little curt, but the language you used just made it seem like you had not done enough HTML work to really be able to sort out the difference between HTML problems (missing pieces in your understanding), and PHP problems. HTML forms are totally independent of what you DO with the data that gets submitted when the user clicks the form's submit button. HTML lets you lay out the form to look however you want.. (you can use HTML's table../table to achieve the visual layout you want). PHP is needed to HANDLE the data (receive it from the submitting form and save it to a db). When you say, You will see that the forms are in a matrix format, and, ...[you] are not sure how to set-up a similar matrix... it sounds like an HTML problem. If you do need help with HTML layout, then practice, Google, and consulting an HTML list will be your best bet. Now, if you need help with writing the PHP that handles the data, then great! This is the right place to ask! But we need to see code you attempted, in order to know your level of understanding, and so be able to guide better.

Giving us an outline of what you want isn't giving us anything other than This is what I want -- with an implied Do it. My advice, the first step will be to create a form with elements like these: http://rebel.lcc.edu/sperlt/citw229/examples/postform/index.php http://rebel.lcc.edu/sperlt/citw229/examples/stickyradio/ http://rebel.lcc.edu/sperlt/citw229/examples/stickycheckbox/ http://rebel.lcc.edu/sperlt/citw229/examples/stickymultselect/ and then get it to work for you. If it fails, present it, and we'll comment. Cheers, tedd PS: Everything you need for this first step is provided above.

What's the point here? I have grandkids and about a dozen other species of relatives/friends trying to get me to do stuff (i.e., like/friend/post/reply/accept) on FaceBook et al, but I don't see the point. It looks like a total waste of time. Why should I care if someone post something on their FaceBook account? I would rather spend my time programming, teaching programming, and reading about programming. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this stuff. Cheers, tedd First, I hope that I am posting my response to Tedd correctly (no top posts..). Second, I totally agree with Tedd and I am only 36...:-) Best, Christopher Tedd, Your naturalness is always endearing, even when you play grumpy. ;-) It may seem like overly zealous waste of technology.. but look at it from another angle - It's just plain ole (ancient) human need for social interaction... piped through the latest tools. The girls anyway certainly love FaceBook, et al., for the same reasons they ever loved the chance to compare social notes. I did not use the takethislollipop.com app, so I don't know either what is its point (I hesitate like others said they do, to let apps grab all my FB data), but here I was just commenting on FB and social apps in general. From a programmer's perspective, I would say that selling things is just as boring as aimless socializing. WHAT ARE YOU programming anyway? ;-) We programmers just keep track of other peoples' details... and once the novelty of solving problems (for solving sake) wears off, then it seems to me that programming, as such, is no more interesting, in the end, than the stuff the code serves. What does truly uplifting/evolutionary code look like anyway? -Govinda -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.
