hi, i am new in the arena of Web-designing & Web-management. I know HTML, Frontpage & CSS. I have a few Questions, please help me out. I'm sorry if some of them are stupid questions. 1). What language should i learn to create/put a "Tell a friend" box in my webpage ? 2). How do I ? Save a users email-id when he subscribes for a e-magazine ? 3). Redirect user to a different site ? Is all this difficult to do ? Hoping some people to help me out. Thanks in advance
The first thing I'd do is unlearn FrontPage, since you already know HTML and CSS (not to mention the fact that Microsoft no longer supports or develops FrontPage). The next thing I'd do is learn a server-side programming language and pick a database to work with it. PHP/MySQL and ASP.NET/MSSQL Server are popular choices.
Thanks for the reply. And i like the qoute as well... ___________________________________ Always there for friends
1. There are many free "tell a friend" scripts that you can use. If you want to create one, you will have to learn PHP 2. I belive you have a database with those users yes? If so, you can extract data from that database on a .txt file (let`s say) 3. .htaccess - make some changes or create a php script
PHP isn't the only language that can do this, but his choice in server-side languages and what databases he can support are entirely dependent on what his hosting provider has on their servers.
