Hello all,
Unfortunately, I don't really have any programming language knowledge. I get by with HTML and CSS but that's about it.
For a project I have, I'd like to create a simple HTML form where a user can select options and/or enter text into fields.
I'd then like the data to be inputted into a database which would allow me to export it and view it.
Is this what MySQL is for? What would be the easiest way to go about this?
What good books/guides would you recommend?
I could actually do what I want offline (as in create a form in a word processor) but am interested in seeing what online options are available?
I realise that if I do this online, I will need to host it somewhere, so if anyone can recommend a free host (ideally offering subdomains on their URL or theirdomain.com/mysite so that I don't have to buy a domain), it would be most appreciated.
I'd also need the access to be password protected.
The concept isn't yet 100% clear in my mind, so any suggestions or advice are welcome.
Thanks,
