<head><title>Asking for information</title></head> 

<body> 

<form method="post" action="unknown.asp"> 

Your name: <input type="text" name="YourName" size="20"><BR> 

Your email: <input type="text" name="YourEmail" size="15"><BR> 

<input type="Submit" value="Submit"> 

</form> 

</body> 

</html>

Unknown.asp:

<html> 

<head><title>Responding to a form</title></head> 

<body> 

Your name is <% =Request.Form("YourName") %> <BR> 

Your email is <% =Request.Form("YourEmail") %>

Is this once you've uploaded it to the server? ASP is a server-side language, so it has to be on a server (either local or remote) for it to work. I don't know much about it, but with PHP you have to either upload it to a server with PHP installed, or install Apache and PHP on your PC and view the pages by typing "localhost" into your Address bar.

Heh. If you have a book on the language, it should have told you this already.

Get one. It's the best way to learn a language (besides taking a course). Or you could struggle. It's your choice :P

Take a look at PHP & MySQL Web Development - an excellent book.
