Forum coding? Basically posting a form to another page?

Title says it all... Posting a form to another page. I have the basic layout done for what I want to do, and for now, I am not going to reveal that. Later, but not now. Thanks if you could give me a basic overview of posting to another page. If there is anything extra I should know about this, I would love to hear it.

You will need to create a PHP or ASP or Perl script that accepts your form submitted values and displays them (or adds them to a DB, or renders them in some other way).

I think forums are a little more complicated than that. If you don't offer user accounts, however, that would certainly simplify the coding process.

You assign names to each control that contains a value. Then, in the form you link it up to a separate server-side scripted page, which can then read the data straight from special variables.

That sounds like a good explanation, Xav. You sure are apt in coding.

Are you being sarcastic?
