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.
