Hi Everyone,

I appologize if this is not the correct avenue for my question. I have a web based form which clients fill out for one of my business, and the results are sent to my email.

However, i'd like to modify it such that when they fill out the online form, the results are sent to a "secure" area of the site where they can read what the user submitted - instead of it going to my email.

Does something like this exist? Can someone point me in the right direction for what i'm looking for? I'm not even sure what to search for...

Andrew.

Easily enough to do if you save the results to a database, and then have a web page in that is secured that pulls the results from the database and displays them.

there are a bunch of ways to do this. if you don't want to get involved ina database situation, you can send all of the information in the form as a "get" method which puts the information in the URL.

Then you can use client side javascript to read the URL.

Better however to write it to a text file or database, and read it back securely to the web page.

the actual mechanics of doing it are pretty complicated to describe here.

Hi Dijkgraaf,

Thanks for the help - however i'm not compeltely adapt at "saving to databases", etc... Ultimately, i'd like some kind of "prepackaged" software or script which would do this?

Do you have any sugggestions?

Andrew.
