Form Actions
Question: I have created my form, and validated it. But how do I assign it to a form handler like (CGI,PHP,MYSQL e.t.c)? I will like to also know how to create a confirmation page that enables a visitor to know that he has succefully filled the form: by displaying some or all data entered by a visitor.
Also, how do I create a page that tell a visitor that an error occure in processing of his form if he fails to enter a valide information?

Answer: The form handler is assigned in the action attribute:
<form action="formhandler.cgi">
The form handler controls what error messages get displayed and/or success page. Depending on the particular one you use you may need to provide information in hidden fields in the form.
