Forms

[Foxy]

I have always used cgi scripts for forms [FormMail.cgi] but recently I started using a preprepared form at ipowerweb that I am finding not too satisfactory.

Before I go back to the original does anyone know of an alternative?

Thanks :)

Is making them yourself with PHP an option?

DIY = max control!

I can hack php real good but can't write it yet - need to learn it!!! :)

- can use php no problems - what do you suggest?

I would hand code it all, prolly from scratch but if you can't write it, I'd check out existing scripts on hotscripts or some other website.

What are you trying to do with the form data? Perhaps I can offer some help.

Well I use static html forms for every property that we have on our books and I hand code in the reference number with each page/property having its own form and ref number but I started to use database listings as well, using php front end under openrealty gpl which, more recently did a mod that enabled a form with the property reference on the page [which is not quite what I want/need].

Now I want to keep the static pages until I figure out a way of doing the same display [ie the static one] in php but it occurred to me that it [the form] probably could be done in php thus changing the forms I am using now in one go and I will get a better organised site in one go.

I have to keep the set order of the form as we receive the email directly into filemaker pro [as an email client] and we parse the email content directly into the contact listings etc which has a preset order.

Is that clear? Hope so :D
