need a form that makes a new page when submitted, need a form that makes a new page when submitted Options

hi guys, im very new to html coding and making websites etc so any help would be greatly appreciated.

the back story:
im a mechanic working for a large company in australia which uses specialised kind of equipment with not much technical support, a coworker and i have had the idea to make a website where all mechanics in the company can access and contribute to, a database of information on how to diagnose and repair certain issues on our machines. The database will be solely contributed by the mechanics themselves, essentially like a wikipedia relating just to our machines.

so far i have made a website using a website builder called ucoz, and i have made a form using html that will allow people to fill in the required information that we need.

however, i can only figure out how to make the page email the form. what i need the form to do is make a new page according to which selections the user makes.

this is a link to the page i have made so far

http://ftid.ucoz.com/index/contribute_entry/0-9

so essentially when the submit button is pressed, i need the form to make a new page according to which selections are made at the drop down boxes "unit type", "unit make" and "fault type".

if anyone could point me in the direction of how to go about this it would be much appreciated.

thanks in advance

You need a script that generates the page and includes the submitted information. That is, it should do this instead of or in addition to mailing you the information. You may be able to find a script that you can change to the output you want, but you can't do that with the website builder. You need to do it manually, so you need to understand both HTML and a little of the scripting language in question.

Maybe the easist way would be to actually use a wiki software?

And for what it's worth, forms that use action="mailto:..." do not send email reliably. To send email reliably, you also need a server-side script/program to process the submitted data and send the email.

Oh, was it mailto. Obviously that won't do for what you want. You need a script on the server (PHP, Perl, whatever).
