How do format a website forum into a survey format?

I installed phpbb on my site, but not sure if that will work?

Basically, I want people to fill in 10 fields of information, which would be listed in the forum. They put their answers to the question and then it is listed below. Would also like users to be able to search based upon who had this answer and that.
Sure – telling me the code would be great.
Yea, good point. Are there any other pieces of software that are much easier to use? I’m not stuck on any one thing…just want it to be simple and clearn.

    i could tell you how to personally add the codes for a survey, but searching using it would take professionals.

    You have to program yourself. Since you installed phpbb, your best bet is using PHP. There are all kinds of plugins and addons for phpbb, but I doubt they will do what you want to do.

    Have you ever done any computer programming before?

    It’s not that simple you know.
    1. You have to program yourself for the logic you want which is about 1000 lines of PHP code for server side process.
    2. You need to code HTML/CSS and Javascript or perhaps AJAX for a nice graphical effects, validation, and user interfaces, which is another 1000 or so lines of HTML/CSS/Javascript.
    3. You need to incorporate with phpbb, very tough unless you are pro.
    4. You need to create MySQL database table structure in order to save and search effectively.
    5. Create SQL Queries for saving and retrieval information for DB.
    6. Let see… what else?

    Show me the code! doesn’t quite cut it.
