Helps a little - MORE remedial pleeze - I'm showing vast ignorance
here - yes thats what it needs to do - because that way the info
gets stored in the log files in addition to the database - personal
information will not be queried - just survey question answers
- so privacy is not the issue here.

For example:

A customer feedback survey - it will not be identified to an
individual -

On a question like What is your primary job?

Telecommunications
IT
Finance
Other

Normally this would be a simple post to send the result to the
database - how would I do it differently to actually append the
job=IT result so it would show up in the log file?
