so i'm thinking about creating a web form for drop-in hockey registration. my spam email every week seems be filtered on several mail servers now...

anyways, my php is SUPER rusty and i've never really played much with ASP. any ideas on how i would easily accomplish this?

i'd like a registration form that sends a request to me to generate credentials for a user,
then have this user be able to log in and sign up for drop in hockey on saturdays,
and have the list viewable by anybody logged in,
and perhaps email out a reminder.

i would assume that storing userdata in a mysql database would be easiest?

just looking for kind of a starting point here. thanks!

fwiw,

I'm not Bryan and I'm not familiar with php, but doing it in ASP should be pretty straight forward.
A quick google search on "ASP email" comes up with several links with sample code showing how to use CDONTS.Email.
The thing with ASP is that it's pretty common and you could probably even find sample code out there does pretty much everything you're looking for.

I haven't used mysql, but I use MSSQL instead. They have a free version that should be more than plenty for your needs.

Just my 2 cents.

yeah we use mssql exclusively here at work, so i was looking to try mysql. i don't think it really matters either way.
i will check out some asp guides and see what i can do.

thanks!

i've used php and both mssql/mysql... i don't have experience setting up the sql server though...

creating a form with a php backend accessing mysql is pretty simple. i think i might even have some old source code from my last job that you can use. But the library is probably a lot more extensive than you need.

That being said, i'm not sure how much time i'd be able to spare to help you.. haha... i can give you the source code... lols... it's pretty illegal though because that code is property of my old job... but hey, it went bankrupt so who cares...

lol
don't need anything super fancy. i just want to say: "go to lolatlarksunplayingd.com and sign up for drop in hockey"
or something along those lines...

you don't need to use sql if it's just a simple database, u can just use access.

MS Sql server is straight forward if you have a MS server setup.
