How do you get the results of a survey you created (HTML) emailed to you, or saved to your hard drive? And when it is saved to the hard drive, how do you find it?
WEB FORMS/SURVEY!!! Please help!!! I am sooo confused!?
use windows explorer to look for the file, you could start w/ the my documents folder(if it is saved on your hard drive) as for the other, that depends on how you set up the on-line survey...
Reply:You need to use some kind of server or client side script. I would suggest searching for 'Free PHP contact me script' or something to that effect. It will email you with the forms content every time someone fills it out and presses submit.
Reply:This depend on if you are using server side scripting or client side scripting. There are lots of PHP scripts for servers or javascripts for clients to be found. Try searching "free email form scripts" and pick your poison.
Reply:Making forms work requires some *magic* on the server side. Traditionally this magic is CGI scripts, php, java, etc. Basically just something that can receive the POST action contents and then interact with the mailer (or filesystem)
Reply:If you don't want to use a form, try:
FORM action="mailto:you@yourdomain.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain"
That will use the client's default email program to send the results to you.
Reply:Two ways:
If you're using a scripting language like PHP or ASP, there are a number of "freebie" scripts out there to get off the Internet that will handle the form processing for you. In PHP, I use "formmail.php" all the time, and swear by it. I have no idea about ASP, PERL, or Python, but I'm sure they're out there.
You can also send the form to yourself in an unformatted email, using some simple HTML tags. I don't remember them right off the top of my head, but you have to use tags to designate the output as "text/plain" and perhaps one or two other attributes. Do a Google search and you might see how it's done.
Hope that helps!
