Need help with php script for Pdf form submit to server

hello all and thanks for taking time to read and possibly help me out here.

im building a website for a non profit organization for children and i need a php script to help with registration. what i have is a pdf form with text fields and a submit button. now before i go on, i will say that i dont know if the form has to be in pdf format, but it does have to be the exact form that they gave me. im not sure if there are other file forms that the registration document can be converted to, but the document has to be the one they gave me.


when i first turned the document into a form, i just used the mailto: method. but that wont work for alot of people who dont use outlook etc. also i dont want the user to have to go thru the extra step of having to email the form after they have filled it out.

i just want the user to fill out the form, click the submit button and have the data sent to the server, and then be redirected to a "your form has been successfully processed" page. i dont really need the form data to go into mysql data bases or be emailed anywhere. as long as i can retrieve each submission from off of my server thats good enough for me. if you can have it go to the database thats ok ... but i just mainly want to be able to retrieve the data

ive asked around about this, and i was told that i need a server side script to recieve the pdf form data on my server. so i guess the script needs to get the form data onto the server and individually name or number each file so the server doesnt overwrite each submission thinking its the same file over and over again.

can anyone please write me a script that can do this?? i dont know how to write php at all. im reading up on it .. but i see it will be a little while before i actually learn it.

so to give an overall understanding of how this would work is

1. the user comes to the site and opens up the form in adobe reader.(if they dont have it already, which most machines do, then ill have a link for them to download it)
2. the user fills out the form, clicks the submit button, and the form data is sent to the server
3. the user is redirected to a "successful submission page" if possible
4. i can then retrieve the data from my server

i just need the php script that can handle the form data and put it on my server
