The question appears to be the same as this one that you asked earlier. You can find plenty of scripts at Hotscripts.

Basically when you submit a form, the data can go into a database, a text file, an email or merely cyberspace. It is really difficult to answer your question since there are too many unknowns. Are you using a scripting language? Is it a client-side or server-side scripting language? If you just built a form using HTML, about the only options that you have is to use the mailto to send you an email with the form data although that wouldn't be pretty. So give us some more info about what you are trying to do and check over at Hotscripts to see if any scripts will work for you.

Thanks for your replay.
Actually I’m pretty new in this area ( programming with database) so I’m asking dump questions .I ‘m not sure what is difference between client-side and server-side scripting language .
Here it is what I want to do.
I want all info from a form to be displayed (dynamically) in the table from another web page. Is the only way I can do this with creating database in Access and then using some scripting language like ASP or PHP? Are those client-side or server-side languages) ???
Is there another easier way? I know how to send the info from the form to the e-mail, but that way there is no way to transfer that info dynamically to another web page.

Server side: All programing commands occur before the page is sent to user's computer. User can't see the code unless he has access to the ftp account. Think of this like writing instructions on the server to print out the instructions for Internet Explorer, or any other browser, to read. It includes languages like PHP and ASP.

Client side: All programing occurs on the user's computer. The user has full access to the code. Think of this like code written specifically for Internet Explorer, or any other web browser, after it is downloaded. It will be like telling the browser to turn the font color to green after you click a button.




About your question, if you want to save it and look at it after the user closes the browser you need a database. If you just want to see it on the next page, and don't need to store it you can read it from the URL (www.yoursite.com?var=test) called get or you can read it in a diff. packet called post.
