Online Employment App - Where do I begin?

[marcygiff]

I need to add our company's application for employment to the website and am not sure what the best approach is. I need to be able to:

1. Give them the opportunity to create an account, fill out the application, logout and return to complete or update it.
2. Show % of application complete or a display that shows them which sections of the application are complete.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me resources that will help approach this in the best way?

What language are you able to do this in? It can be done in php, asp, or any other server side language, but seeing as how php is free, it might be the best way to go. Do you know any php at all? You might want to look into sessions. You are going to need a database of some kind to store the user names and passwords. You might be able to find some login scripts at www.hotscripts.com

I have no experience whatsoever with PHP. I have experience w/ ASP and VBScript on our intranet. Do yoiu have any resources to point me to for PHP?

ASP can do what you want as well. You are still going to need a database, most of the time ASP uses an MS Access Database.
