Create form that does not need FP server extensions?

[Don Burgess]

Using FP 2003, I created a simple text box form where users can enter their
e-mail address to subscribe to my newsletter. The results were to be put into
an html page.

But then I found FP requires server extensions to enable users to enter
their email address. I don't have FPSE.

Is there any way around this? Thank you.

Contact your web host to see if they offer access to a form handler or server-side scripting is
supported, in which case you can then write your own.

What if your web hosting service is your own in-home server? How would I
get around it then? What should I look for or how should I find a good form
handler or server-side scripting? I would like form results to be written
to a file on my server and not sent via email at all.

If using Windows, then you will have to learn ASP or ASP.net which is part of the OS, but may not be
active, if using Windows 2003 server or higher.

If using Unix / Linux, then you will need to learn PHP.

I am using Windows 2000 Server. Are there any good locations that can
adequately introduce me ASP programming? Understandable tutorials somewhere
on the Web? I have found some already. But they seem to use some
terminology that I am not completely familiar with.

And, we should guess which ones you've already found? ;-)
Keep Googling for "asp tutorials" until you find one that you can
understand?

There are also several good beginner books on ASP that you can find in your
local book store.
