I don't know if this will count as a "problem" but it is for me. I am building a website, and in this website I want to put a webform, and I want (lots of want's) this webform to post onto a seperate page, and also to be emailed to the admin. I was wondering if anybody knows of a script or code that can do this for me.
Also some other not as important questions, which you probualy get asked alot, sorry! When I sign up for the Trap17 hosting is it only hosting? Does it come with a TLD? (Hopeful) and how long does it take until I need to get 30 credits again, to keep my website up.

Moved from Counseling, Advice, Support forums. Also, edited topic title. Please be more descriptive for topic titles and descriptions.
I think this post will probably be moved, you shouldve probably posted in the programming section or something but the mods will sort that out if they need to.
As for the hosting you get a yoursite.trap17.com domain name but as far as im aware you can use any domain name with your webspace but you would have to get the domain name from someone else.
And as for the credits first of all you need just 30 credits then you can apply for hosting. Once you have hosting your credits will go down. Then for every day your website is online you will loose one credit. So if you have 10 credits it will last 10 days. Just make decent posts in the forum and you will get redits (as you know) and this will keep your website online. If it reaches 0 your site is suspended untill you get 4 credits. More info is in the T17 Readme.
Im not entirely sure what is needed of this script you need but this what i understand of the situation:
You need a script which takes user input proccesses it to make sure its safe etc.. then makes a new HTML page and uses the users input as the content for this page, and then sends anemail containing the same content to whoever is the admin of the site? Is that correct?
Thank you very much for reply, and thank you moderators for putting this thread in the right section. Yes shadowx that is what I ment! Lol please help if you can find this post again!
Do not bump your own topic or any other topics. We all can read what's on the forum and not one topic is important than others.
You need to clarify by what you meant when "post onto [separate] page" Would you like your form entry to be saved as a web page and permanently stored into your hosting page to be reviewed later on? Or do you just want to email entered form data to designated email address?
ghostrider, do not digress from a topic. For your question TLD stands for Top Level Domain(name). It means your-site.com or your-site.net etc instead of your-site.trap17.com, which is called sub-domain.
You need to clarify by what you meant when "post onto [separate] page" Would you like your form entry to be saved as a web page and permanently stored into your hosting page to be reviewed later on? Or do you just want to email entered form data to designated email address?
Yes I would like the form to be saved as a webpage, similar to a guestbook, and also to be emailed.
For example. The form would say: Favourite Food, and Person A types in Chips, and then submit, It submits to a different web page as a hyperlink, which is passworded, so when Person B logs onto a passworded area, he can click on the hyperlink, and can see that Person B likes chips as it appears on the page, also when Person B reads his email he can see that Person A likes chips again.
That sounds complicated, you might need a more powerful script using databases. Why not just make a forum?
EDIT: I see what you mean. Person B is the admin... perhaps you could modify a script from phpform generator. I recommend installing http://phpformgen.sourceforge.net/ on your server, then creating a form, then you could modify the script so that it writes the results to a text file or database, then you have another password protected page that outputs this information by including the file. Personally I would just have a normal form that sends the information to your email, but I understand what you mean. I'm sure this kind of script exists, I'll search for it for you one day, but now I need to get some sleep... lol
I know what you mean you want to do a form post tell me what ields you want and ill create one it should only take me 5 mins but i ned to know the webpage you want it posted to.
Okay I am stupid here, I am about to buy a domain name for my site. Can I still be able to have it
hosted here at trap17 and use the new dot com? or would I need to move it and spend more money? I
really do love the free hosting here and would hate to have to leave and be charged a monthly fee.
also, if I am able to use it here are there any transfer fees that I need to know of. I have
looked around the forum, maybe I missed it but really did not see anything about this Thanks ....
i have a question here.sorry to bother but can we use the domain from trap17(250 credits thing)
with some other host?? i mean do we have control over the nameservers????....
Hi, I have noticed a bit of a problem with the forums here on Trap17. I don't know if this is a
problem with the Trap17 implementation, or with Invision Power Board in general, or with a mod that
is running on the forums here, and I'm sure that someone smarter than me can isolate the source
of the problem. What I have noticed firstly is that the link that is generated in the top right
corner of a post within a thread, the link to that particular post (I'll call that the linkback
link), sometimes links to the post itself, but often just links to the thread. T....

QUOTE All websites must be in English to qualify for free hosting. We do this to ensure that
Accounts are legal and have permissable contents. I totally agree with the need to ensure that
accounts are legal and have permissable contentes, but I believe there's a big portion of forum
members who speak English as their second language, including myself, and so, I assume some time
they may need free hosting in their native language. So, why can't Trap17 host sites in those
non-English languages which have a large community in the forums? I'm sure that t....

So, I was wondering, is the support desk in some kind of transitional phase or something. My support
tickets keep getting closed because I get no respone, and I see the same thing happening to other
people around too. I'm still in th emiddle of trying to sort out a problem I that I first
submitted the ticket to on September 16. On the first ticket, I got a response that OpaQue was going
to see it, but a week later when nothing happened I talked to BuffaloHELP. He told me I should
re-submit the ticket, which I did, and this time I got no response at all.....
Uh...hey! I was wondering about the hosting thing... I have a few questions: 1. How long does your
trap17 registered domain last? (the free domain thing) 2. Do you have to pay a certain amount of
points every month for your hosting account? Or do you just have to be active? 3. Does it come with
the Fantastico that has IPB? And if it does, is there a limit on how many members you can have, how
many posts can you have, and does it come with the newest version? Thanks. /smile.gif"

Anyway, does Trap17 still delete all site content for accounts that fall behind in hosting credits?
I lost my site because of being inactive for a few months a year or so ago and have been hesitant to
get back into this when losing all your work can happen at any point. Is that still how the system
works? Joshua....
Just curious... while I do see some advertisements in the forums, I dont see any solid banner ads or
anything of that sort. Only imagefilez and that wellnesspoisitivty section. So the only money I
could see helping pay for the forums are the wellnesspositivity, and imagefilez, and computinghost.
I dont see how that can cover a forum of 43,000 w/ thousands of hosting accounts (which you dont
oversell) meaning you must pay for a good hundred TB's and bandwidth and tens of TB's of
space. Just wondering, because the figures arent adding up in my head. ....
Whenever I go on trap17 forums to post I always get the welcome guest thing and it's starting to
