How to create an Offiline Forms

[cotufa-ssdd]

Hi guys, I would appreciate any help on this topic:

I have a small bussiness and I want to use one of my computers for customer feedback and contact information, this computer would be available for them to input the information by themselves.
I want to have a form open on this computer, with certain text boxes to fill out information, a reset button and a submit button, however, on submit I want the form to save locally on that computer, I would like to make it as simple as possible so that anyone can use it.

Does anyone know any software that does this? Or how I could do it by creating an offline website or in visual basic or anyway?

Thank You!

use C # or if you want it to be REALLY basic and old school looking. use C++. Either way its really easy to create one

Are your customers accessing your computer using the internet?

If yes just use html and php to save the input to the form.

Somrething like this:

<form action="save.php" method="post"> 
<h5>Name</h5>
<input type="text" name="name"  size="50" />
<h5>Address</h5>
<input type="text" name="address"  size="50" />
<br /> 
<input type="submit" value="Save"> <input type="reset" value="Reset">
</form>

and for my save.php...

<?php 
$file = "file.txt"; 
$outFile = fopen($file, 'a+'); 

// get input data and add to file 
$out = $_POST['name']; 
fwrite($outFile, $out." \r\n"); 
$out = $_POST['address']; 
fwrite($outFile, $out." \r\n"); 

// finished close file
fclose($outFile); 
?>

Of course you can add/remove as many inputs and fwrite statements as needed.
