For your last question, that all depends on your preference...like if you mind ads or not. Most free providers force ads on your site. This one is one that doesn't. Check it out. [url]http://www. 110mb .com/[/url]
As for input boxes, there are different ways to handle that depending on what you are trying to do. Elaborate a little more on what you want.

Well, thats not something that can be done with plain old HTML. A basic method would be to use javascript, which you can google and find out how, but it wont keep anyone above a newb level out. If you really need password protection, then I'd look into some progs that do it for you, unless you know some web programming like ASP. Another option is if you have a free host that allows for a sql server, you could look into setting up opassword protection using php and a myqsl server or something.

If you want something to host your website use 110mb.com.
If you want to make an input box, check out this website

I couldn't tell you about the input boxes, but I can direct you over to Freeweb7.com.
Great site, better than 110mb and freehostia in my opinion.

Zelda, i had the same questions you do, but you need something called
PHP.
Ever noticed most signup forms at forums are almost the same?
It's because they're using the same PHP format, and i guess you can download them |

Hey,
Unlike most people here, instead of learning languages like c++, delphi, etc, I spent my time learning how to build sites and learn site scripting. So, I like this topic because I feel it gives me a place to shine 
So, because I feel like you still need help (Your last post is what gave me that opinion), I decided to make a nice little script for you that I think will help, and I made it fully commented so you know what everything does 
Ok, so first off make 2 pages in notepad, dreamweaver, frontpage, or w/e you want. Name one form.php (<--- Form for user to fill out) and the other phptut.php (<--- Script the processes the user's input)
Ok, so pretty much just copy and paste this in the form.php page:
| Code: | <form action="phptut.php" method="post" name="form" id="form"> <!-- action is the path to the php form we are going to make. -->
Your Name :<br>
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" /><br><br> <!-- The name and id attributes are what are used in the php script for variables. These MUST be the same and match the php variables (Everything is CaSeSeNsEtIvE) -->
Your Email : <br>
<input name="email" type="text" id="email" /><br><br>
How Did you Find Out About Our Site? <br>
<textarea name="message" cols="40" rows="5" id="message"></textarea> <br><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit Form" />
</form> |
Then, in the phptut.php file, copy and paste this:
| Code: | <?php
### VARIBLES ###
// These are the variables that are given in the html form we made in the form.php doc.
$artist = stripcslashes($_POST['name']);
$songtitle = stripcslashes($_POST['email']);
$shoutbox = stripcslashes($_POST['message']);
// If any of the above fields are empty the page will refresh to a page you want with a message saying something of your choice.
if(!$name or !$email or !$message)
{
header("Refresh: 2; url=page_that_gets_refreshed_to_if_they_didnt_enter_all_the_fields.html");
echo "You did not enter all of the required fields!"; //Here you can enter the message you want your people to view when they leave a field blank.
}
else
{
//The below codes are different options you can have your form do. Remove the /* and */ to uncomment them and make them work.
//Leave this info variable as is. Its used with some of the functions.
$logfile = "file_you_want_logged_to.html";
//Leave this info variable as is. Its used with all the different functions.
$info = "Name: {$name}
Email: {$email}
Message: {$message}
Name: {$name}";
//This code takes the info the user inputted and records it into a file of your choosing that you listed in the logfile variable.
/* $logdetails = $info;
$fp = fopen($logfile, "a");
fwrite($fp, $logdetails);
fclose($fp); */
//This is the code that sends the inputted info to your email.
/* mail("[email protected]", "Subject of Message", $info); */
header("Refresh: 1; url=page_you_want_users_to_get_sent_to_if_they_enter_all_the_fields");
echo "Information Saved!"; //Here is the message given if the user entered all the needed fields
}
?> |
I commented this pretty well I think so I think you should be able to mess with it as you please. That should work pretty mcuh right off the bat, you just need to uncomment some things that I noted in the phptut.php for it to work.
If you have any questions, or it doesn't work for some reason (It should, but I made the code itself pretty quickly, spent more time on the actual commenting ), you can PM me, post here, or...Yea, I guess thats the best way
Hope this helped 
P.S. - You need php enabled on your hoster for this to work! Most come with it though so its not really a big deal, I just felt like I should tell you. |
