Re: [support] most drupalish way to collect data from users

Nice tools to discover... but the accent is on "form" rather than on file.

Try this: http://drupal.org/project/webform

I just have to collect data from users and store them in a DB.

I could just have a php node that contain a form whose target is the node itself and collect all the data through POST and save them.

That looks slick to me, I was wondering if that kind of activity (collecting data through forms to store in a DB) can be pursued in a more kosher way (using some drupal API, modules etc...).

I just got into this: http://drupal.org/node/326 expecially this: http://drupal.org/node/37775

I've to get an idea of the advantages of kosher coding vs. learning all the API now ;)

While we are at it... how do you collect data through GET (not POST) when url rewrite and alias are activated?

What if the node is: drupal/this_is_the_php_node and I want to pass some GET data?

thx
