Registering users

[suna]

Hello,

I am not sure how to post the question, but this is what we are trying to do:

1) On our website there will be a Sign-up link that will take the browser to a page( this is what we need to create).

2) This page will contain fields like name, email and b'date. When the user hits a submit button, all the values in these fields need to be stored in a database (MS Access/SQL), cause we need to store the user information and then another page will be displayed, saying "thank you for registering".

I am not sure what would be the best way to achieve the above task. Could you please help me with this problem, and tell me what front end (VB,VBScript...)should I use and backend..

Thanks in advance,

Suna

Well your front-end will be an HTML page (use <FORM>...</FORM>) that posts the input to an ASP page. The ASP page can be programmed in JScript or VBScript (VBScript is the recommended) that will access your database by using ADO. You database can either be MS Access or MS SQL.

Then once your ASP page has saved the data, it can redirect the user to the thank you page which could just be another HTML page.

Thank you sir,

I went to the Visual interdev, and created a new HTML file. But, when I go to create a new project, the web project wizard asks for the webservers address..and it also says that you should have MS Frontpage, which I do not have..does that mean I wont be able to use this? Also, I am not sure but is it necessary to create a project, we could go to file and add another ASP or HTML file..

Would appreciate if you could advise,

Thanks,

Suna

I thought you have a website? Since this is a web application, surely enough you have web server right?

In any case, if you want web server on your development machine, you can just go and grab Personal Web Server (PWS) from M$ website. If you have XP, you can install it from the CD.

Frontpage server extension comes with both, the IIS (for NT/2000/XP) and PWS (for 9x machies).

That is all you need to develop an ASP app.
