Where can I get a data entry form template using HTML?

Hello Kurtt,

There are many online forums and websites which provide templates for data entry forms. You can also use content management systems, code generating software to generate the data entry forms. You just need to go to a search engine and search for form templates or codes for generating data entry forms.

The other way is to write up your own code for the data entry form. You will need to create a HTML form and use JavaScript or PHP scripting language to validate the form entries. An example can be as shown below:

form.php file

<table class="bg4">
    <form method="post" action="validate.php">    
    <tr><td width="145">Names:</td><td width="300"><input type="text" size="45" name="nicename"/></td></tr>
    <tr><td width="145">Gender:</td><td width="300"><select size="1" name="gender"> <option>Male</option><option>Female</option></select> </td></tr>
    <tr><td width="145">Location:</td><td width="300"><input type="text" size="45" name="location"/></td></tr>              
    <tr><td width="145">Email:</td><td width="300"><input type="text" size="45" name="email"/></td></tr>
    <tr><td width="145">Username:</td><td width="300"><input type="text" size="45" name="username"/></td></tr>      
    <tr><td width="145">Password:</td><td width="300"><input type="password" size="45" name="password"/></td></tr>
    <tr><td width="145">Confirm Password:</td><td width="300"><input type="password" size="45" name="confirm"/> </td></tr> 
    <tr><td width="145"></td><td width="300"><input type="submit" value="Register"class='buttons'></td></tr>
                </form>             
                </table>   

validate.php

$con=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");

$nicename=$_POST['nicename'];
$gender=$_POST['gender'];

 function died($error) {
        // your error code can go here
        echo "<div class='errmsg'>We are very sorry, there were error(s) found with the form you submitted.<br />";
        echo $error."<br>";
         include 'signup.php';
        die();
      
    }   
    $error_message = "";
    $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';

    }
  if(strlen($password) < 4) {
    $error_message .= 'Please enter a valid password which is atleast 4 characters long.<br /></div> ';
  }
  if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
    died($error_message);
  }
    
     
    
 
/* Now we will check if username is already in use or not */
$queryuser=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM user WHERE username='$username' ");
$checkuser=mysql_num_rows($queryuser);
    
if($checkuser != 0)
{ echo "<div class='errmsg'>Sorry, the username is already taken.Please choose another username</div>";
 include 'signup.php';}
else {
 
/* now we will check if password and confirm password matched */

if($insert_members)

 header('Location:login.php');
 }
else
{ echo "<div class='errmsg'>error in registration</div>".mysql_error();
 include 'signup.php';
 
/* closing the if else statements */
}}}
 
mysql_close($con);
