beginner question

[nswords34]

I'm just starting out in building a website and I'm wanting to create a Form so that I can have visitors send me information so I can update to my site for other people to search for. Can someone tell me what I might need to create this. I think I need some sort of database set up but I'm not sure how to do it. Do i need to find an online company who will take the filled out form and send it to me in an e-mail or update a database for me??? I just want people to submit stuff and make it easy for me to update my site so people can search. Thanks for any help you can give me. You can reply here or at nswords34@yahoo.com Thanks!

Please give more info as to the info you are wanting to collect and how often it will be updated. This could make a difference what is done. In general you will need cgi-bin or mysql or php. You can find scripts that will generally do what you want from http://www.cgi-resources.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/
