Event registration forms

Apr 6, 2012 10:34 AM

The reason I wanted to set up xamp is so I can work with tables in Mysql and phpMyadmin. I have a reigistration page with input fields as such,

 

Address,

city,

state,

zip code,

date ,

time,

genre,

artist,

venue,

price,

telephone

 

I'm trying to collect data input from visitor who use the site as a searchable databse. In the search page the search fields are

 

city

state

date

genre

 

this is what the visitor use to search what other users have entered on the registration page fields.

 

I'm still new to this game but bear with me on this one. Can I use spry data to automatically post the search results without entering the data form the registration form on my own or is it something that has to be done manualy oncethe data is saved in the database in MySql.

    The question is quite broad and not easy to understand.

     

    As far as Spry is concerned, Spry is a JavaScript library and as such it is purely clientside. This is to say that it is interpreted by the browser on the local machine and it does not interact with the server. To interact with the data from the database, you will need to know a serverside scripting language, in your case this will be PHP.

     

    You will need modules that Create information to go into the database, Read information from the database, Update or change the information and Delete the information. This is commonly called CRUD. Have a look here for more info http://www.kingluddite.com/tools/crud-in-dreamweaver

     

    Once you have that in place, we can talk about seach forms. These can easily be done using a SpryDataSet; but I think this is best kept until you have completed the above.
