Online form

How do I make an online form so I know who downloads files from my website. I’m offering personal pictures of myself (in noncompromising positions) and I would like to limit downloads to people who enter their name and email address, etc. into a form that gets sent to me somehow.

Any thoughts on where I should go to learn or if there is a web site that I could copy. (Maybe this one?)

Thank you and have a blessed day!

ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: This may be complex. You need a form that allows the user to go to another page or retrieve a file if they fill out the form correctly. This would require a server-side form-processing script (to tell the server what to do based on the values it receives from the form), and if you’re not a web-master with access to the server, it might be hard to set up. I recommend you contact your ISP or wherever your webpages are stored about how to do this, and if it’s allowed, in your situation.

Bypassing the server scripting, you might be able to have data submitted from form to you via email — in the

tag you’ll have an action attribute with the value of your email address, e.g.,
). This may send the form information to you via an email message. I believe this feature needs to be enabled on the web server you’re using or compatible with the browser you’re using or something like that, so it probably won’t work. Anyway, once you verify that they haven’t given you a bogus name and email, you can send them your photos, start an email relationship with them, and so on.
