Submitting drop down data on website
I have about a dozen drop downs on a webpage, which i would like the data to be submitted to me. It doesn't require any validation.
How can this be easily done? (without mailto)

php and mysql perhaps? Have a look at this tutorial. It would allow someone to submit a form, whose action calls a php page that puts the information into a mysql database. You'd then pull the information from the database, which could be done via php, thus you could view it in a browser.
You could probably also get php to save data to a file on a webserver, and then you'd need to physically grab that data (perhaps have a local script that connects via FTP to the server and pulls down files).
Why don't you want to use mailto?

Is your host/your box running linux or windows?
If linux then your looking at php/mysql and you can do a search for php form wizard which I think will do what you need. If windows then your looking at asp, not sure if there is something that will build it for you but it wouldnt be hard to build using visual studio.

lol, windows 2003 with asp would have been 2 secs!
Cant help you with the others..
And I hardly think you need MySQL to do a few drop down lists that dont require validation.

I don't even need to store the data in a DB, i just to receive it in an email really.
