Web form data into a database

[dmitcha]

I have two forms on my Web site, and I would like to capture any entered data into a database.

I use a paid host for the site. It's a Unix-based server using Zeus. It allows FrontPage extensions but not FrontPage's "send to database" functionality that would easily capture the form data to an Access db on the server.

Ideally, I would like to capture all the form data to an Access db on the host server.

Alternately, I would be happy to capture it in a MySQL database or even into tab-delimited text since I can import that information easily into Access.

I'm not sure what the process is to do any of this, so I may be missing other solutions.

Is the answer here:

--somehow modifying my CGI-script (formmailer.pl, not to be confused with formmail.pl)
--using a different CGI-script
--creating/acquiring an additional PHP script
--copying my form HTML code into a form-generating software that has database delivery already built in
--something else?

I really need direction on what the next steps are. I'm a newbie, but I got through building the forms by hand and properly developing the CGI-script in a day and a half, and I'd never heard of it before then. I'm eager to learn!

Thanks so much for any tips on how to store Web form data into a database.
