Thank you for providing the nice DBman database system and the helpful support forum. I installed the DBman onto my website, and it is working properly and happy with it. I am wondering if anyone can be kind enough to help me figure this one out.

I am trying to find out if a form page (form.html) can work together with the DBman.

1. I want any users to type in their:
- Name
- Email
- Company
- Tel

2. What kind of FORM or POST code do I need to insert onto the form.html page?

3. When the user submits their information, I want the information to be emailed to 123@123.com and be inserted to the database. How would the ID number be affected by using a form page? Does it automatically create a unique one?

Thank you for your help.

You can use dbman for this... simply have a link on your home page (providing you don't require authorization/log in first):

http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?user=default&add_form=1

Then use the "email to admin" mod to have a copy of the record emailed to you or whomever.

See this link:

to access the unofficial dbman FAQ - this is where you'll find the mods. Also check out the "resources" section of this website (gossamer-threads.com)

Aloha Watts, thank you very much for replying to my topic. I tried the link as you provided but this still took me to the original Logon page. Do I have to edit the code in html.pl to not require authorization/log in first? How do I do this?

PS- I got the "email to admin" email working.

In default.cfg find the following little bits and change the authorization to 1 and allow default user to 1


And


Now, of course, this really assumes that you don't care who posts to your database....

It works Watts! Thank you very much. Have a great weekend.
