RE: [PHP-DB] Creating an email form

This comes under the general classification of "Pay me now, or pay me later, but sooner or later you're going to pay me." Cripes, the cost of hosting with a DB is another what, $10 /mth? And it more than pays for itself in terms of speed of retrieval, reliability, security, freedom from corruption, flexibility and adaptability to extended purpose. (If this is a Windows-based solution the first statement may not apply, the second still does.) Let me see, the client is a car repair shop that only uses flat blade screwdrivers, adjustable wrenches and a vacuum gauge; an agri-farm operation that ploughs with horses and doesn't trust those new-fangled tractors.
