HTML / PHP question

[Patty]

I have started developing a website and need some advise paleeez! Using a post form. I understand the form fields are posted to the webpage. What if 10 people post to the page at the same time? Wont it conflict?

Sorry the stupid question.

Nope. Most servers can handle LOTS of simultaneous connections. A very limited few (mostly novelty servers) can't handle that many but even those will easily fly through a few hundred.

Come to think of it, I can't remember when last I came across a novelty server, save for my Mac Classic II till the day I fried the PSU.

When you use an HTML form to submit to a PHP page (which then handles the request/saves the data to a database or whatever), the user submitting the information has a specific Session created for them until the operation completes.

There's nothing weird or complicated you have to do. Web Servers were made to handle concurrent requests from multiple users, and like GreGorGy stated, hasn't been any real issue since he can remember (neither can I FYI, and I've been doing it for 10+ years now)
