That’s one of my favorite because when I began to learn HTML, I was lost in my development project … I didn’t knew how to make these forms work …
Now everyone can build forms easily with these new tools :
http://www.webformfactory.com/
http://www.phpform.org/
Using Web Form Factory :
1- Upload your HTML file (with the “<form></form>” tag in it.
2- Choose the Form Type : database form or e-mail form.
N.B : In the database form, you must have a MySQL Server installed since it works very well with PHP scripts.
You can get it here for free. Note that ASP.NET / SQL Server aren’t supported.
3- You choose the PHP language you want : PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 5.1
4- You locate the file that you will upload (HTML file) and the “Thank You” file which is most known as the Destination Page.
5- You name your form.
6- You click on GO !
and you’re DONE !
“When you generate a database form, WFF generates all the necessary code which collects and inserts data into a MySQL database. You don’t have to write any code. Once the form is ready, all you need to do is edit the configuration file provided by WFF (configuration.php) with your database login and password and your form is ready to start collecting data. WFF even provides an admin interface for you to view the collected information.” >> from the Authors (link).
Using the e-mail form, you can send the data to an e-mail address if you don’t want to store it in a database.
Using PHP Form :
This one lets you create the form online and then download it to your PC.
You can choose the fields and fill up all the details you need.
You can even choose the color scheme.
