I want to create a new staff check list that HR can fill in and give to me so I can create their network ID, email address etc. on our system.
Was thinking, how difficult would it be to create it in a web based form that either emails me or saves the results somewhere?
I have done some web design but am a little rusty on it as I haven't done any in a while but can pick things up pretty quickly.
Any help or even if you have a similar system that I could modify I would be most happy
The form is fairly trivial, you create a <form> element and populate it with data fields (text, checkboxes & selection lists). When the submit button is clicked the field values can be passed to another page either as part of the URL (eg form_submit.php?name=fred&department=silly%20walks etc) or as posted data. However, the page has to have some form of scripting to save the data somehow. You can download complete form creation and processing scripts that will do all this for you. If the form is limited to an intranet you may not need to be very rigorous about security, but you should be aware that form scripts can be a point of vulnerabilty.
I use formmail to enable people on a website to email me. You might be able to adapt the scripts to contain more fields - but you need to know perl and cgi...
ratnips - would I right in thinking that formspring store your data, then you get it from them?
