Non-FP Substitute for FORMS

I am completely satisfied with the FORMS capability of FrontPage 2003.

I would like to continue to use the FrontPage 2003 application, but publish
to a host that does NOT have FP extensions enabled.

Can someone suggest a way of duplicating the FORMS capability that FrontPage
extensions offer?

Thanks!

The solution depends on your knowledge and what the server supports:
For Unix (Linux) servers - PHP
For Windows servers: PHP, asp.NET, "classic" ASP (In my opinion, classic ASP should be avoided since it is no longer developed and is slowly being phased out.)

FrontPage 2003 "understands" asp.NET v1, but asp.NET v2 is a much better option.
Tutorials for PHP, asp and asp.NET can be found at http://www.w3schools.com

PS - my very limited experience with FrontPage 2003 and PHP was not good - FrontPage "corrected" the PHP code resulting in chaos. FP2003 also will not handle asp.NET v2 very well.
Best way forward is to change to Expression Web, which does support both asp.NET v2 and PHP.
