students registration software

[b]

hi,
i been asked to allow students to register their courses online.
what software needed to accomplish this.
anyone done this? how can i do it.

 

[spec]

there are many ways to do this, all require a script of some sort. one way is, the script takes all the users information and sends it to you through email. If you expect high amounts of sign-ups this might become problematic. another way is for the script to send all the user info to a database, and then have it retrieve it for you.

PHP or ASP or CGI can do that
and if your looking to do it for free
PHP or CGI is the best. and a MySQL database
if your using the second option

For raw...

You don't need to do anything with MySQL.. if you have only 1 or few courses of your own.. just drop the name of whoever submit to register on the text file.. and you manually check them yourself

 

[spec]

then why wouldn't u use a email system? it its only a few registrants then u don't need to make a text file system.

oh. I don't like register through email.. but it maybe nice for you

use the mojordomo.. whoever try to subscribe your email mean he want to register your course.. oh good idea.. then you can use this mailing list to contact them in the future.
