Forms - again - or still

**jeb** · 02 August 2009, 07:18 PM

I have done a search and read many of the post about forms.

If I understand it, one much use an outside program to have "fill in forms" emailed from a web site.

I, therefore, assume - I know, dangerous - that one must pay a fee for this service.

If so, which of the programs out there do you recommend as being the best bang for the buck - or euro, as the case may be? - jb

When I need to insert a form on to a web page I use the coffeecup software form designer, this produces superb forms and can easily be inserted into a Xara generated web page via a placeholder. One thing I always do is put a keyword at the start of the subject line which means I can set up a filter within Outlook to store all form replies into their own folder within your mailbox, handy if you get lots of emails.

A little search for the html code for creating a form along with a small php script (called from the form placeholder html code) will also do this. A little more effort, but the most flexibility in the end, as you can use this same php code to add stuff to mysql databases and other such things - and it doesn't cost anything.

Maybe this will get you started: http://regretless.com/scripts/scripts.php#dodosmail

This one seems to have a lot of options covered.
