G'day guys,

I'm having my cd launch soon, and I'm wanting to do an online invite and rsvp system - could I use Flash? I'm wanting to present the details, and below it have a radio button for "yes" or "no", followed by a section which allows the user to select a number of guests (from 0-4), followed by a field for the user's email, followed by a submit button. In case I haven't been clear enough, here's an example:

Welcome to Ecliptic's cd launch! Please fill out the following form:

I intend to come to the launch: <yes> <no>

Number of guests: <0,1,2,3,4>

Email address: <field>

Submit.

I would then receive an email with their info. I really have no idea whether I'd be better of using PHP or something, so any help would be much appreciated!

Just in case anyone has the same question here later, I found a PHP script here:

It costs $25, but works fine

It looks nice, but $25 dollar's for a mail form is just a rip. It's only basic php, I've made them before. There are a lot of tutorials for mail forms in php. I've even found one on kirupa for a Flash+php one:

You can use the radio button and checkbox components inside Flash 8 to make your form, or you could just visit this topic:

Download link is somewhere down the page.

The first one's an email form, rather than an rsvp one, so it'd take a bit of work. Same with the second - if I'd had time, I would have given it a go, but this was fast and easy

Yeah its an email form, but thats basically what your asking. It's not very hard to add fields to make it look like an RSVP.

I guess so - I wouldn't have a clue, though, and at least this system adds it all up for me and keeps an accurate record
