Form Data saved to file

[RB21]

I have developed a form in FP2003 and want the input sent to an xml file.
The users input the form from our website. Our webhost does not support asp,
but cgi. I use FP but haven't not used it in this capacity. Any help is
greatly appreciated as we are nearing the deadline!

Thanks.

You have quite a problem on your hands. First, you will have to find out
what sort of CGI your hosting service supports (executables, Perl scripts,
etc). Second, you will have to find out if your host will grant you
permission to write a CGI program that saves a file to the server hard
drive. Third, you will have to learn the programming technology supported by
your host. Fourth, you will have to design and write your CGI program.

Or, you could host with a hosting company that supports ASP, in which case
your learning curve will be a little smaller.
