Registry Form

I need to know if there is a HTML Code for Registry Forms. I know how to make the fields, and add charectar limits and stuff. Here's what I want to make:

Username: ____________
Password: ____________
Verify Password: __________
Email Adress: __________________

<Submit Button>

That's it but I want to know if you can do some stuff. First of all, I know how to redirect to a different page after hitting 'Submit', but I want the submition to recognize the 'Email Adress' field, and automatically send an email to the email adress that the person entered, and say exactly:

Dear <Username entered in 'Username' field>,

You have succesfully registered your account with this email adress. To activate your account, copy/paste this link into your adress bar:

<link to activate>

Your status=
_________________
Username: <Username entered on 'Username' field>
Password: <Password entered on 'Password and Verify Password' fields>
____________________________

OK, that would be the email but here are my questions:

1) How do I get the form to automatically send an email to the email adress entered on the 'Email Adress' field?
2) How do I customize how the email sent after submitting the form will be like?
3) How do I get whatever the person entered in the Username, Password, and Verify Password fields into the email automatically, and right?
4) How do I make a detector that detects if the password in the 'Password' field is different from the 'Verify Password' field, or vice versa?
5) How do I make a dectector that detects that the person who submitted the form must activate their account before they can log in?
6) After the form is submitted, how do I keep that informaion into records, so when the submitter activates their account, and logs in, how do I make a detector that detects if the password to the Username entered is invalid because of the registered record, and/or the username is invalid/not registered?
7) If I make a 'Forgotten Your Password?' page, I'll put a field asking the Email Adress, and when the Email Adress is submitted, how does the page scan the records of the registered user registered with that email adress, and send an email with their password and username?

That's all, and I don't want to use any online web hosters, I want to do it all from HTML Code typed in Notepad. Smile

You cannot do it with HTML. You need to do the processing with server-side scripting such as PHP or ASP.

If you don't know of these then you will have problems. You will have to learn the language and how to perform validation and send emails.

http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_forms.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mail.asp

http://www.w3schools.com/asp/default.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_ref_request.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_send_email.asp

or you could use a prewritten script
PERL = http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/
ASP = http://www.brainjar.com/asp/formmail/
PHP = http://www.dtheatre.com/scripts/formmail.php

That is only an email. You have to do a lot more to have a membership system. You really need a database for that.

Here is one that's pre-written. Not by me though.

Im using in HTML THIS FORM

<form action="mail.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="to">
<input type="text" name="subject">
<input type="textarea" name="body" style="height: 80px; width: 100px;">
<input type="submit" value="send">

</form>

AND you need a PHP FILE. You need a PHP server in your host to enable you to send emails

in your PHP file something like this

<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Mail</title>
</head>
<body>
<?
mail($_POST["to"],$_POST["subject"],$_POST["body"], "From: usernameatdomain.com");

?>
</body>
</html>

with that you 'll send a body content and to an email adddress the user entered in your page, as well the subjet and the body he entered.

hope it helps a little.

Can you tell me or give me te code to redirec a page after I hit a "Submit" buttom in HTML??
