Hi Guy's,
I am Gavin, I am creating a simple form. I want a php script that will work from my computer. In other words I dont want to have a website uploaded.
For example - The form contains a drop down list, some check boxes, some textareas where one can type custom note and some radio buttons.
Now when the form is submitted it should give another page with the information typed in into a text area - all formatted as if it was typed in a perfect order
php DOESN'T work without a server. it is a server side script.
you can either use it from a server, or set up your home computer as a server (search for WAMP/LAMP/MAMP-- W/L/M-- windows/mac/linux respectively).
You could also, I suppose, setup some sort of executable that would do this, but compiling php doesn't, to my knowledge, allow interaction like a server, so it wouldn't be able to act as the destination for the form.
If you really can't have a server setup, you could try to use javascript (but it would be more complex), or you could use some general purpose programming language to make a real program.
here is the form

I would like to make this form work without any server side script - javascript will do - This form is basically to make notes or document the conversation faster at work without having to type
I greatly appriciate Blizz's contribution in helping me - I would also like an alternative method using javascript for computer that may not have flash on them
Thanks
Well, you can't. You need PHP or some other server side language (Ruby, Python etc.) to do this.
Javascript will result in nothing--- just, at best, some parsed version of the input, which a TON of javascript code to get there. It cannot be stored; it cannot be used; it cannot actually DO anything.
Hi Daniel,
You have by now seen the form - Can you help me with a simple button that will copy the content of the form to the clipboard? I really need this urgently. If you could help
Thanks
Regards
Gavin
If the other computers in question have a web browser and that browser has the Flash Player installed, they don't need to be connectedto the internet, but can open the final .swf (or locally stored Flash outputted HTML) in their browser and do it that way :)Quote:

Look, there IS no way. None. Nothing. No. Way. You. Can. Do. This.Quote:

Hi,
This is very easy to get posted form values at next page and echo it.
I will email this code if u provide email
Which language would you use? Remember his server doesn't allow PHP, etc.
Also, please just post the code here on the board. Emailing it will not allow anyone else to help debug or explain it if there are problems and it will not allow others to learn from it or search for a similar answer later.
