Populate forms form external source

I have a website with an HTML form on it that sends submitted data to an email address. We then copy and paste the incoming data into our Filemaker database.

What I'd like to do, is have the form automatically populate the appropriate fields in the database each time data (text plus an uploaded user image) is submitted to the site.

Is there a way to do this?

Wow, what a loaded question. You might want to take a look at using PHP with FM.

Look at what has been discussed in the Web View Topic Area about scraping data from web sites.

There are examples in your FileMaker Application Folder that show how to do some of this too.
