Need help making a script to create custom URLs…

I have a problem.. I have a form that will collect text and two other variable from two drop down lists. I need to be able to take these three items and store them in a database associated with an email address, then send a new URL to that email address so a script can pull that information out of the database. It is kind of hard to explain, but I will be more than willing to explain it to you in more detail if you are interested. Thanks!

This one is probably a challenge too…

@pyroJun 24.2003 — What kind of database, and what server-side language are you using?

@eyelashauthorJun 24.2003 — I haven't decided on a dbase yet, as I can't figure out how to make the custom URL work. Server side language (for the scripting?) is just plain old javascript. The database doesnt need to be anything elegant (it would really only need to be two fields per record, (the three variables get combined into a string, plus the email address)).

Hopefully that helps...

@pyroJun 24.2003 — Javascript is [b]client[/b]side not [b]server[/b]side. You will need a server side language such as PHP, Perl, ASP, etc... I personally use PHP and would recommend that along with mySQL. Or, for what you are doing, perhaps a flatfile would be easier. If you decide to go with PHP, you can get help [URL=http://forums.webdeveloper.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=16]here[/URL].
