Hello!

I just started teaching myself html for a friend's website. He wants a section where people can sign up for a membership. What do I have to do to get that to work? I can create the page where they fill in all the blanks, but after that where does that data go?

If there is another website that would help me understand that or a book I would appreciate any and all the help. THANK YOU!!!

I think you'll have to read up on PHP forms. Here (http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/php-tutorial/using-php-forms.php) is a quick first look.

what you are trying to do is pretty advanced, well, it isn't, but for someone who is learning HTML while building this site, you're going to have to do a loooooooooooooot of reading up.

this requires a whole other language to accomplish this, like Awesome-o said, PHP is probably your best bet.

Is there any books that you may suggest that would be helpful also? Or is any of the books out there pretty much the same??
