How to collect employee request information...

[etangle]

I am to develope a portal for my office administration, the purpose of which is:

1. If an employee wants to request soemthing (leave, hotel reservation, car request etc), there are pre-designed forms (paper), which are currently being used as hard copy, now my boss wants them to be electronic form, so that If someone wants to submit them, he can do it online...

The problem is: If I make all these forms as html form, and stored in db, I will have to make each form seperate, and there will be lots of fields.... is there any other way to submit a request using pre-defined forms we have.... or will I have to prepare each form as html, and store values to db...

I shal appreciate any suggestion / solution...

Normally you would not put a form in a database you would design a form that is capable of handling all the various requests with on certain fields required to be filled out, so you could create one generic HMTL form and take the field data from that form and place the data from the form into the database, then you could do whatever you wanted with the data anytime you needed it.
