Need simple interactive form for web site

On a very simple web site I want:
a sign-in page,

and after visitors read through the site I want:
- a simple True /False quiz form of 8 questions that sends their answers and their name to an email address, creating evidence they did it.


- Does anybody know a “canned” easy way to do that without authoring a lot of programming? Anything external to the site, like Google forms etc. won’t do. Thank you.


Closed due to OP deleting content from old posts, leaving the
thread chewed up.

Why can't you use Google forms? It will do exactly what you want without almost no effort on your part.

It can't be out on the public web. It's protected info, to be on a private intraweb inside a private space.

No.
Was hoping that since this has obviously already been done a millon times, that there might be an off the shelf template to use. Have no experience programming in asp.net.

Just want to catch their log-in name and their answers to 8 true/false questions into variable, then email that to an external address.

Bro, it has definitely been done a thousand times. Back in 1996 there was a CGI script called mailform.cgi or some shit (sorry, on my second mojito) that does this for you.

What's important is what platform are you on? Who is your host and what is it running? This will help frame the answer for you.
 
With no prior knowledge of PHP, I've done this using PHP+Javascript on my employer's web server (thanks, Google!). A simple form that users fill-out when taking an order from customers. It emails the order to a certain group and to the employee that filled-out the form.

Does your HTTP server support PHP?
 
Several of the CMS systems (wordpress, drupal, etc) have pre-canned survey widgets. You might look through them.

Really, though, this is simple enough that rolling your own wouldn't be TOO hard.
