    Default Displaying All Form results on a Web Page?

    I run a few web sites that use FormMail and I am very pleased with it.

    I would like to display the some of the inputted information from the last 100 users on a web page. This is so potential users can see what has been entered by others and more importantly so search engines look at the page - hopefully to increase the number of users.
    One of my sites is at;
    http://www.car-breakers.info/

    There is a site doing something like I want to at;
    http://www.gissit.com/motorcycle-parts-wanted.php

    This page is updated each time someone enters data into the form.

    My question is - can FormMail do this? If so how??

    Hi,

    FormMail can collect the information for you to display, but it can't display it on your website.

    I would use a CSV file (comma separated values), which FormMail can write to on each submission.

    You would then need some simple PHP code to display the last 100 records on a page on your website.

    There's a HOW TO guide about creating CSV files on the main website.

    OK - thanks for your help.
    I guessed I would need to creat a cvs file to start with. Just need to learn some php or find someone to write it for me!

    No I did not - I have bought a book with the plan to teach myself, but I have not had time let.
    If someone would like to let me know how much it would be to write a script for me I would be interested!

    Hi,

    There are various places on the net where you can hire programmers inexpensively. Many will be amateurs, but that doesn't mean they are no good.

    You can also hire me to do it, but I'm fighting a backlog at the moment, so I can't do it for a while.

    BTW, it's really a custom job because a generic script won't know how to format appropriately for your particular website's HTML.
