Hi guys hopefully you can help me out.

I was presented with a challenge to create a form that users will fill out online. There are a handful of questions mostly with check box answers, and a couple of areas to type your name and the date.

NOTE: this form is currently only on paper...

Now how do I go about making this form into an "online" version? I can definitely create the HTML form that's not a problem. Its doing that database and php/sql stuff that I don't know how to do. Are there any scripts out there that can accomplish this?

Basically I need users to be able to fill out this form online and then have the results collected. And possibly have the admin be able to generate a report of the forms that have been submitted.

In PHP or Java (and likely others) this is a pretty easy thing to do. Do you have any server side programming experience? It sounds like you'll have a table or two in the DB and a simple page to parse the form data and insert it into the DB. Then you'll have one more page (perhaps password protected) that gives you the results.

If you Google around there should be plenty of examples of this type of thing in PHP and Java. I could put together a Java solution pretty quickly depending on the complexity of your form data. File uploads are the most difficult to deal with but it sounds like you don't have any of that.
