October 10, 201312 yr Hi, Hoping someone can help me here. I am organising a charity event and am trying to build a website to enable entrants to submit their details into a database to collate said details. I used to dabble in basic webdesign about 10 years ago with frontpage and a lot has changed since then. I signed up with dream hosting because the online sales chat person told me I could easily create a basic website, database and form. Now I am struggling to put the home page together with their online site builder!! ( I know, I know!). I have asked dream for some support and they tell me this is now not so simple and have directed me to a tutorial document which looks like rocket science to my little old brain. Can somebody point me in the right direction please? Is it really difficult ad have I gone down the wrong route? I feel like I have been mugged by dream hosting!

October 11, 201312 yr First of all you will have to make a database (if you havent already) for more information on how to do this ask your host Secondly you will need HTML and CSS to make and style the form. external link Finally you will need a server-side scripting language like PHP to handle the form submition whils you are learning i would advise you to use PDO. external link. If you need any help feel free to post again in these forums with any issues you have.
