    Hi,

    I have a online form which visitors to my website would fill out. It's located on 4 pages and I would want the results filled out on these 4 pages to be collected by a script and sent to a database.
    What should I think of when hiring someone to make this script for me? What changes would I need to make to the Mysql databse of my webhost for a script to work?

    Thanks for taking your time.
    Sincerely,
    Dinvest

    You don't really need to spend the money to pay someone to do it. You can download a simple / advanced Contact Form script at www.HotScripts.com.

    As Aphex says - there are plenty of free scripts available and many of them just use files/email to collect data so you may not require a database at all. If you're going to be collecting lots of data then a db would obviously be preferable.

    Solution 1) (You must have knoweledge of php and mysql)
    1) Create database
    2) Crate table
    3) Create fields inside table for informations that you intend to collect
    4) Insert information inside script needed to connect with database
    5) Write php code inside your pages to collect,send and store data inside your database
    6) Write php code to collect data from database for presenting wanted data inside of your own website

    Solution 2)
    Find similar script on the web, download it and customize it
