  MESSAGE:  (#2294) Question Regarding Application 
            <http://www.phorm.com/support/?rev=2294>

I have a website that is a directory of schools. So far, I've been using a 
CGI/Perl script that basically just forwards the entries to my e-mail and then 
I enter the info by hand. I know, very time-consuming, but I want to keep a 
close eye on the entries so that I don't get a lot of junk. 

I have MySQL thru my server and can use PHP. From the looks of Phorm, it would 
give me a lot more freedom. I'm thinking that I can use it to replace the CGI, 
but also to e-mail the entry back to the submitter along with a nice 
personalized confirmation screen. Also have it forward the info to MySQL, 
where I can either cut-n-paste the info to a page or use the page to pull the 
info from the database and place it in a template page. 

Does this sound plausible? And how would I go about it? 

Are there any free scripts out there that could be configured to pull the info 
from the database, or will I need to get someone to write a custom script for 
this application. 

I'm not a programmer or anything, but am I on the right track here? 

Any suggestions of a better way are also welcome.
