posting with forms

Well I'll start by telling you what I'm trying to do. at the top of my page I have up coming events and below I have forms where vistors can submit new events but the way it's setup it sends it to my email. I want to set it up so when they hit submit it adds it to the page, i take it it's done through a database so can I do this with php? my server has mysql, so can anyone point me in the right direction. Is there a place that will show me how to accomplish this easy and painless.

Check out webdev.com and weberdev.com... They have some pretty good tut's on php/Mysql

Well I checked out those sites wow I almost lost myself there... the only thing I can think of is it must work like a board I rather put it outside of a board because alot of visitors don't even step foot in the forum!

I would use a C cgi to access the mysql database to update and display the entries if I was limited to that. Plus my background is C/C++(even B before that) with sql databases. Jeez I'm getting old. But there are perl scripts at the link below that would do what you are looking for very easily. http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/News_Posting/

If you want to go the C/MySQL route let me know I have general purpose access code I would be willing to share. You would need some kind of C history to make them work for you but they would be available.

There are also general database access scripts available at the above site. If you find something you like and need some help let me know.

Well I do not know C or C++ but i have a few friends who do, I'll tell you what i'm trying to do we are a drag racing team and When someone submits a upcoming race instead of it coming to my email I would like it to post and also I would like to be able to edit it later on when it's out of date!

edit: that darn post new button keeps moving. GRRR

steveontario send me an email address at rick@rterra.com and I will mail you the c code. Remember this is general purpose mysql access that will give you a good head start on creating your own.
