How to create a form on ezpage?

[sfklaas]

My goal is to create a personalized form on an ez-page. I was able to successfully create the input box including name, email, and another input text with both the submit and reset buttons below it! I was pumped! You can see it at

MY question though is how can I receive the submitted information. When a user presses submit, can that be e-mailed to my e-mail. Is it stored in a database? what code would I need to put to retrieve that info? I'm stuck!

Thanks!

I guess my real question. If someone fills out the form and clicks submit, where will I be able to find that information?

I've been stuck for a while and its killing me. I want to create a form that I can add to my ezpage. Can anyone guide me with a very simple, one input text box with a submit button? Is this possible? I'm very new to this.

It's not quite that simple.
If you want to submit a form, you need to set the form's "action" parameter to point to a script that can process the input submitted by the form. That could be an external program (some people have tried using formmail.php and dealing with its challenges), or it could be a Zen Cart page.
If you want it to be a Zen Cart page, you'd be better off writing a dedicated page than making it an EZ-Page, since you have to build the "processing" logic as well as the input logic.

There's a sample script available to show how to build a page which simply collects info from several fields and send it to you via email: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...482#post386482
Doing it this way allows it to use the built-in Zen Cart emailing infrastructure to send it.
