Entering data into MySQL DB

MySQL database question

[dangill0014]

All,

just a quick question. I am looking for the best way to allow a user to enter data into a MySQL database.

Basically a form or app of some kind that would take the entered data and populate fields in the database.

I have worked a bit with PHP, but am looking for other options too.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Dan.

if you've tinkered with php, then you've already seen the best way to enter data into a mysql database.The question is - why aren't you wanting to use php to do this?

I've found it to be a pain to build a page with many fields (50+). Seems to perform slowly too. That is why I was looking for other alternatives to explore.

You'll need some type of scripting language to do this. Whether it's PHP, ASP, Cold fusion, JSP whatever.

There is no other way.

hehe, I think it is always a pain to build big forms but luckily it only needs doing once (hopefully)

using php shouldn't be slow, though I don't know anything about the server it is running on or the specifics of the script. A straight up insert should be pretty darn quick.
