so, i’ve only been studying php for a short _(very short)_ while, but get this email from a potential client tonight: > [size=1]Hi Brendan, Thanks for the follow up! That’s a cool site you have there. I haven’t been able to do a lot with mine yet. What I need will be a web based front end to a database. Basically I’ll need people to fill out info in the web site and then either have it saved automatically to a database or emailed it to me so I can process it. No need for cool looking graphics [/size]😉 [size=1] Let me know if that’s something you’ve done before.[/size] this gentleman owns a business that buys old houses from people, and then resells them. well, i havent done it before… but lol… whats that got to do with anything? 😛 i’m still VERY MUCH a newbie with php, but feel comfortible enough with web technologies to try and tackle it… i’ve seen html forms that send the info straight to your email. but if i recall right, the info is sorta hard to read through. and since i believe this guy has a programing background, i’d prefer a way to send the info straight to a database. any suggestions on approaching this project, or heh heh… **maybe where to learn how to do it?** are there any pre-built php/html forms out there i could use and modify? **HELP!!** i might be biting off more than i can chew… but i’d rather have somethitn to chew on than be hungry… :?)
