I want to have a sign up form that users can fill out that would output to a html table on my site. I need a script that will process the form and enter the data into a template of some sort that I can edit. Anybody know any free scripts that will do this or how I can make one myself? The purpose is to have a page where users can see a list of all the users that have signed up.

You can't really output the data from a form to an HTML table. You can output the data to a flat file (text), a database or email. Once it is exported to one of these three, you could put it in a editable HTML table.

It depends upon who is hosting your site as to how you go about this. If your host supports PHP/MySQL then you can put the information into a database. Check over at Hotscripts.com, for available scripts.

ok so I will need 2 separate scripts do do this then right? I have MySQL and perl installed already on my web server. I would assume there are some scripts written in perl to do these tasks or would I have to install php?

You would one script that contains the form. Then you would need an admin type script to edit what you wanted to edit. If your host has Perl/MySQL installed then they most likely have PHP also. You can either ask them or use this little script:

PHP Code:


			
<html>

<head>

<title>PHP Info</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

</body>

</html>

Cut the code and paste it into a text file, save the file as php.php. Then upload the file to your site and see what happens when you try displaying the page. If you see a screen that has PHP Version ... , then PHP is installed.
