Interactive Form

Is it possible to create a form for a nuke site that would allow data entry as well as the use of drop down selection boxes that would then display this data on the same page or maybe open a separate page that shows all data that has been previously input?

I have looked at PHPFormGen but wasnt sure if this was the best solution. I had this installed on my site once before but did not like the way it took you to a page not contained in your site (a separte page popped up) to tell you thank you for filling out the form. It didnt have a page that displayed all the data either. I am just learning so it may be that I just didnt configure it correctly.

What I was hoping for was a page that was interactive to allow the user to input data as well as use drop down boxes to add items then have them hit complete and have it take them to a page that displays everything they input as well as anything anyone else has entered. I am hoping to get this configured so that I can grant only certain people access to this form and information.

It would also be nice to click on a link under modules to view the input data. Is this something that can be done?

Yes that is possible. You might want to use ajax for that.

Can you point me in the direction for (novice) information on AJAX and PHP? Ive done some searching on the internet and a lot of the sites I pulled up were programmers offering their services. Thanks

Search for 'mootools' or 'jquery'.
