    I'm looking for website add on that will take data from an online form and save it in a database, but also I need some sort of web console that will display the saved data in the database in a manner thats easy to use and highly configurable.

    Kinda like an oscommerce type solution.

    The web console is the most important thing here as the client im designing for isnt very computer literate. "SQL queries?":confused::confused::p

    What server side language and what database?
    Will the data be from one form or many forms?
    Will the data go in one or more tables?

    PHP and mySQL
    One big form
    Depends on the design of the form I get from the client, but thats an pre implimentation issue not a concept issue.

    The closest thing I have seen that resembles what i like is PHPESP. But it is mostly geared towards surveys and the like. I want a more database oriented approach to the web console to view data.

    PhpMyAdmin won't accept info directly from a form though IIRC (Im probably wrong)

    well phpmyadmin has a form based entry page so a user can manually add data to the database. And I am sure the php is easily editable so that unnecessary or unwanted fields can be removed - so that the user doesn't make a mistake

    Im after finding 2 more tpyes of programs but both arent really what im looking for.

    The first
    http://phpforms.net/demo.html

    This lets you create a form and store it on a database, but thats it. It doesnt let you analyze the data unless of course you write your own php file with all the relevant queries.

    The second
    http://www.quask.com/common/home.asp
    Looks good but you have to pay for the version that lets you analyise the data.
    100 odd euro so not that bad. Would prefer it if one could logon to a website and analyse it online.

    I thought there would be loads of freebies out there but doesnt seem to be.
