list of subscribers

[what]

okay, I need a way to have members fill in a form at a sign up page. and what ever they fill in... shows up on a list so I can go back and reffer to it. How can I do that?
(Note: I am lost when it comes to databasing, I have a host that supports everything I need.)

The first thing you should do is to go to http://www.mysql.com and read the begning tutorials in the documentation section. This will teach you how to set up a mySql database.

You want to set up a table which the data that the user will submit, e.g. if the user submits a form with name/interest/zipcode/phone number then your data base should have these fields.

Also, assuming you make the form in php, your should capture the value of the fields via POST vars and can then use php to connect and write to the data base.

As to viewing the data, you can set up a page which you only use and which simply extracts the entries from the data base.

However, to do this I recommend you first review the tutorials in www.mysql.com and www.php.net which are the basics for what you want to ackomplish.

As you go along, if you need help with specific issues to make it work then post here and we will help.
Otherwise, try to post your requirements in the buy/sell forum above and see if anyone can write a script for you (for a fee ??)
