Question

Personal Addition ?

I need to setup a small school APP for some students to save data to a pc. I am coding an html form and was wondering what is the best fit for this? The students DO NOT have internet access with this laptop. It's for the courtyard and for students to complete 10 question survey.

I thought write to a txt file but I don't think this will work. Any Suggestions?

    I think you'll need to clarify what you're asking. First up, what's an APP? What "data" do they need to save? In what format? How many students? If they don't have internet access, you're looking at putting all the required software on the laptop and saving any data to local disk. I'd suggest PHP and MySQL to be the best option.

    Oh, and get one of those Kensington locks for the laptop

    I was being short for Application - APP. It's a small survey with 10 questions.. Not sure how many students, but I thought the MYSQL will work. I am not sure the resources of sql on a laptop. But at the very least, I know this is the direction we need to go. Thanks!

    Since you did ask this question in a ColdFusion forum, you may have thought about using ColdFusion for this task.

    It Could be used for the task.

    It does come with a bundled database management system these days, Apache's Derby.

    If it is all running on a local system the free Developers version would work.

    How you might feel about using a non-production, development license in a pseduo production appliction is not something I will comment on.
