Submission to URL/HTTP

[Former Community Member]

What is the process for submitting forms to a URL?

• When the URL is created and a form is submitted to it, what happens to the data? Ie. Does it save the data somewhere that we can access the information? Or are we required to create some sort of code/program?

The submit button will POST the data to the URL identified. Typically the URL is a program running in the context of a web server and that program will accept the input and do whatever it is you want to do with it.

I'm still not sure I entirely understand this. As someone coming from the designer side trying to figure out the technical side, I'm not having much luck!

Maybe I should just ask: Does anything need to be created in code at all? Ie. should I be working with our technical manager on this one? Or is this something that I can (somehow and hopefully) figure out?

Thanks!

Yes you will need to create a program to run on the server to recieve your submsion.
