I would like to set up some kind of a service with which a webserver can accept data and can save it to a local file(s). The data is going to be comments, tests, and other things.
Very simply, I need to have a form on a web site that when submitted, will export the data either into a database, text file, what ever is easiest to do.
I was looking at a few ways to do this, and they all discussed setting up a lot of new services, such as php, SQL, ASP, and other things. I was hoping that there would be some way to do this with something more simple that is already in Apache. Web server is Apache 2.0 on Win2k3 Ent. And no, I cannot change either of these things, it's for school and it is what the instructor wants.
I understand that some kind of server side processing is needed, but I would like to try to get this accomplished as easily as possible.
I have full admin rights and access to server box, but I don't want to have to work on it for hours to get this input thing up and running.
If you chose to respond, please be descriptive, I have never set up anything like this before besides just a default phpBB + MySQL install in which I followed a page of instructions.
