I need to make a form with about 20 fields, at peak the submit button
will be pressed on average once every second (3600 persons submitting
the form per hour).
Due to this volume, I would like to make things as robust and
responsive as possible. I've previously just stored the values in an
incremental text log file using a perl script on an Apache Debian
installation. There's no database interaction.
Is Perl more efficient, faster, robust (low downtime) than e.g. PHP or
is there any other solutions that you suggest?
Fields are: Name, DOB, Address, Zip Code, Phone numbers etc. Validation
is mainly to check if DOB is a valid date, that ZIP and phone is the
right format after stripping leading/trailing spaces, and displaying
error messages. In addition a language cookie will be read and stored
with the values.
It should work with all browsers, so no java script or similar will be
used.
