I can see a few questions on forms but I can't quite seem to find what I needed.

I am currently using a basic setup, where an HTML form will send to my e-mail by a .txt file set to e-mail to me. Basic and worthless... I know there are CGI techniques to work everything (this could be the wrong section), and I know I can do a few things such as:

- Having a photo upload to somewhere on my server
- Have the file upload to my server
- (Not sure on this) when a member logins in (no clue how to do that) can choose to revise their profile and have the original form come up with the information, so they can change what they need without redoing it, and having it replace over their original.

There are tons of features, even having a secure connection (just in case) and having a voting form where it will track and log an IP so you can't vote more then once (that would be nice).

if you know anything about these things please teach me for I can't find anything, and the CGI sending technique or uploading to the server and everything would be very very nice.

Thank you for any help you can provide in advance :)

There are many code repositories out there such as hotscripts.com, etc. where you can download and instal scripts to do all sorts of things.

However, if you do go that route, you should take the time and LEARN every line of code in those scripts as well.

If I get a line of code I learn it. I got to where I am today by my friend lending me his code, and me tearing it to pieces to learn every bit of it lol.
