I am working on a multiple page/multiple form web survey (still). It is set up on a host server that does not allow any type of SQL database. So, I want to send my results to a text file instead. There is no need to "query" the database (as I understand query). I just want to collect data and use the submitted data to determine the content of the next form and the next. It is also necessary to display data from form1 on form2 and form3. Does this require a query? Can I use a text database to do this? If so where can I find information on how to do this? I have been unable to find any reference on the web to setting up a text database or using php with a text database. Maybe I haven't looked in the right place. I may have gotten the cart before the horse when building this web survey. My web prescense provider (Mindspring turned Eathlink) has been giving me pits and pieces of information at a time which I have used in the order it was feed to me. First, they don't support asp, but they do support php for databasing (change direction), but they don't support php4 just php2 and 3 (change direction), though they support databasing they don't support SQL databases (change direction). I feel like I'm searching for the corner in a round room. Can anyone direct me? BTW: I'm have no formal training in scripting/programming. I am learning as I go--driven by necessity. Please provide any information in a "for Dummies"--no wait more like a "for idiots" format. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
