Can wordpress do this?

I want to create a database driven simple app/section on one of my wordpress sites.

How can this be done on wordpress using a plugin?

Basically, what I want is sort of like a form where users can:
Enter text/data
Select radio buttons or checkboxes
Make a selection from drop down menu

And based on their selection information would show up.

I know there are plugins that allow wordpress to turn into an ecommerce/shopping store and there are shopping cart plugins as well. These would include the above mentioned functionality into wordpress among other things. So, I know that it is possible.

I am looking for an easy/simple way (using a plugin) to just create the database driven section alone.

  • Any form software will do this.

    You just have the form sent to a simple PHP page that can handle the form input.
  • There is nothing WP-specific in what you want to do.
    You can set up such a form on any website - but you need the backend (code) for it. Once you have the backend code, just set up a Page with a custom Page template and you are good to go. The code should be included into the template, not the content.

    yes Istvan. I understand that I need to write the backend code for this.

    I am not good with server side coding like PHP which would be required for this. So I thought there must be an existing solution (using a plugin) for wordpress for getting this done.

    Or if I could take one of the existing plugins and maybe using it to get what I want, that would be cool too (But without any coding needed for the customizing but only customizing from the admin panel - WYSIWYG).

    @ Wonderful Warrior:

    The problem is that I don't know how to work with php. I am not a developer. That's why I thought maybe there is an existing solution that I can use.
