I request the help of the HTMl and CGI savy

So, for a class, I am attempting to do an internet survey. I have the consent page leading to the survey page done. I currently have the survey results sent to my email address. While this is an OK idea, I can't have the name and email address of the person taking the survey for anonymity and confidentialty reasons, which doing it by email may do. So, I'm trying to find a way to post the form to a text file (I figure that's the easiest way), and have the file update with new data. I"m using comcast's server, so I hope its something I can just upload into my webspace on their server and have it work with little tweaking.

Anyone have a ready made script that I can use to do this? I found some places online that offer free scripts, but they don't seem to be what I want.

Thanks.

I know HTML, but reading that was like trying to decipher hyroglyphics :lol: I read and I think I understand what your saying .... you want the survey information, done by the user, to write to one file without overwriting other information, which you can view/be viewed by others? I have a few websites I visit occasionally for HTML, Im sure I can find you a script/solution. But from the looks of it, it will take ALOT of scripting.

I don't want it to be viewed by anyone but me. But otherwise, yes, you are right.

Basically the form is set to post with the action as mailto:me. But by doing that, the name and email address of the person shows up in the email to me. I need to avoid that. So I want the form still set to post, but to post to a database on the server that I can download and get the data from. So I need a script of some sort that will append the data to the text file after the submit button is clicked.

Can you post the data to a database? That's the best way to do it in my opinion.

That what I want, in a sense. I need a script to do it. I only know HTML and haven't a clue.

I found a site that does it for free, so I'm using that for now.
