Making forms functional

Making forms functional

New D.I.C Head Joined: 28 Jun, 2009 Posts: 1	Okay, so I've learned to design websites with HTML & CSS. Now, my next question is.. all the forms that I have on my site, how do I make them functional!?!?!? When one member selects "box y", how will they be paired to another member looking for "y"!? (and no its not a dating site). So my question is, how do I make these radio buttons and all that nonsense actually do something? Im on a MAC so I cant run asp.net. PLEASE help because im going insane. ..my eyes are literally burning from this screen!! e-mail me at zlad_d@yahoo.ca or just post below! Doesnt matter how long the reply is.. I'll read, download or learn anything I need!

You will need a server side language and a database of some sort (normally MySQL or the like). I would suggest using PHP, it should come pre-installed on a Mac. Then you need to make the form method equal to post, and the action go to a .php page, this will submit the form to the php page and it will then do whatever you tell the PHP to do with it.
