Re: [cobalt-users] forms

["Webmaster" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try using something like PHP or ASP and have it write to a MySQL database.
You could then have the form check against unique information in the
database such as the users e-mail address to verify there are no existing
entries. Then if no previous entries exist, have the script write to the db
using the TABLE UPDATE command to the MySQL DB. Then upon send the form
would send you a notification e-mail. I would strongly recommend PHP if you
know it or have the time to learn it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hope that helps!

an email to admin section in the script so you know when stuff is
added....for sure not a cobalt issue but good luck all the same......
