I need to create a web form

[buxa]

I need to create a web form for my site, but I do not know php. Can you please recommend me a php script or some free form builder? :)

What do you want to do with the data from the form?

 

Do you know how to write the html for the form?

[Hobgoblin11]

If you outline exactly what you want the form to do, someone might be kind enough to write one for you.

Theres millions of feedback forms already made and open source. A simple google search will have pulled up hundreds of varying complexities.

Thank you for suggestions. So far I found freedback and this free web%20form'>http://www.emailmeform.com">web form builder which unlike freedback does not show any advertising in the free plan! ;-) :wall:

//Check if there are any messages.

if(count($messages) >= 1) {

Messages

//Print out all messages.

foreach($messages as $message) {

echo($message.'

Just sending an email is very easy.

 

I wrote you a page.

 

All you have to do is add your email address near the beginning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't you think that's a bit...overdone? I can write up a simple php email contact script that handles the post-data in like 15 lines; and you just use simple client-side validation within the form itself.

No, it gives the user a message if they don't send the data.

 

 

 

JavaScript validation is bad because it won't work on all browsers, it can easily be bypassed (potentially creating a security exploit), and is just generally bad form.

 

 

 

I added a lot of whitespace and comments which is one of the reasons why it is so big.

 

 

 

A basic outline of the script is:

 

 

 

check input,

 

send email,

 

print out messages,

 

print out form.

[Albosky]

yeah , but what if sendmail isn't running on the host machine ? :-w

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be honest , use both javascript AND php for form validation if possible.

 

 

 

 

 

Javascript will prevent simple mistakes from creating additional and unnecessary page loads, and php will catch whatever gets through the javascript :)
