Databases and forms

How do i link a form to a database?
What is a good application to use?
I only want tot keep a record of this info, is Excel adequate?

RE: Databases and forms

Hi Bertram,

You will need to see what database application your web server host offers with your hosting package. Some common databases are Mysql and Msql.

Once you have set you database up and created the tables you will be ready to link to it from your website. To do this you will need to choose a coding language for example php or jsp. You can then within dreamweaver write some code that connects your website to your database and then enters the data from the form in to a table.

hope this helps
David

Dreamweaver tip:

Xhtml vs html

When using dreamwear template or just creating a blank webpage, you are able to select the markup language you want to use. The main choices are either xhtml or html. It is now best to select xhtml as this will translate all the html into xml, so it is transmitted across the web in xml format. One of the main advantages of this is that it makes the site that you build much more compatible with the range of different web browsers that exist.
