Pmwiki vanilla forms (without any forms-processing recipes) doesn't really support *doing anything* with the forms - they just allow you to embed the form on the page, but don't do anything with the information you put there. I quote from: http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Forms: ===(snip)=== Input forms don't actually handle processing of the form data -- the feature simply allows creation of forms inside wiki pages. Forms processing can be found in the Cookbook ===(snip)=== So to do what you are looking to do: either you write your own PHP code to do something with the content entered in the form or else you use one of the existing forms processors. Probably the 2 most popular forms processors are Fox and PmForms. Personally I like the flexibility of WikiSh, but it's got a learning curve if you aren't familiar with the Bourne Shell scripting language. -Peter
