    Hi

    I'm trying to set up a text box for my affiliates to use in MS Front Page XP version.

    I want them to add their hoplink in text box....click submit and then it simply updates all the links in my pre written mails etc with their link

    Any thoughts ?

    Hi Darren,

    Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Front Page, but this sounds like a simple submit form, try look up "php send form" on google, it will take less than 10 minutes to integrate, the only problem is, unless you have a "CAPTCHA" going, you're going to be getting allot of spam eventually...

    Goodluck!

    well I would recomend you to use a basic text edizor or dreamweaver for coding ;) but like rockafella told you will need a php form if you know php it's not hard to write one and if you don't google for a free one

    The functionality you're looking for has nothing to do with FrontPage or any other editor. What you need is a form processing script -- simple enough -- but bit about updating links in all of your prewritten emails is much more involved. I'd have to assume that these links are stored in a database, so in addition to the mail form, you need scripting to update your databaase as well.

    Again, not rocket science here, but all of the above depends on what type of server you're on and what scripting languages are supported. Most likely, though, PHP and MySQL are supported, but you need to know that first.
