FrontPage 2003 and scripts

[rdjohn]

Is there anyone here that can steer me with a query relating to MS FrontPage
2003 and scripts?

I have a website for holiday rentals in France. I want clients to fill in a
booking form that automatically sends the data to my e-mail address. My
little knowledge of FP2003 suggested that I need FP Sever extensions. I use
123-Reg.co.uk as my host and they no longer offer the service. They said they
can handle the following scripts - MySQL PHP CGI Perl. This takes me into
territory I have no understanding of.

I have seen “Off the shelf” scripts on www.hotscripts.com, however the
custom form that I need to use is something like this .doc page
http://www.eu-hol.com/La%20Charpenterie/Booking%20Form%20for%20La%20Charpenteri2.doc

Please can someone say if
1. Can I produce such a form with FL2003 without Server extensions?
2. Is writing a script using those offered by 123-Reg a hugely expensive
thing for someone to develop?

Thanks in anticipation for your help

Forms in FP2003 are simple.
Processing the form is more difficult unless you know the technology (server side scripting such as PHP, asp, asp.NET) used for processing.

Take a look at the sample PHP forms at
http://veign.com/development-category.php?page=2&catid=42&type=web
which may help.

123-Reg.co.uk like all Server today is do a way with FP Sever extensions
so that you will pay them for
Making your the following scripts - MySQL PHP CGI Perl to work on there
Server!
So if you make a scrip in MySQL PHP or CGI Perl you will pay to them to set
it up for you on there Server!

CGI Perl <<< to Form mail to File

If you are making a form that is just E-mailing the info to you in HTML with
some JavaScript .....
