Form

[deerfield]

Hello,

I would like to create my own php form for my website, I appreciate Xara Web Designer is WYSIWYG
but I would still like to know if it's possible. I prefer not use third party forms like Jotform etc.

Any help please

Thank you

Yes you can use a third party product such as JotForm.

Once you create your form you can either link to it via a placeholder or embed the code on your page using a placeholder.

Placeholders are just rectangles you create and then add your code via Web Properties menu (see attached)

Placeholders add script or code to your page every time you preview it or publish your site.

For more information in the Placeholder tab in the Web Properties menu, click Help. This will provide a complete description of Placeholder functions and options.

Hi gwpriester,

Thank you for your quick response but as per my message above 'I prefer NOT to use third party forms'

Thank you

deerfield,

If you are looking for the ability to host the PHP form on your site then there are options other than third party forms which are hosted on third party sites. But if you want to use Xara to create the form and save it in a PHP format then this is not easily possible.

Thank you RKissane

If I create the form manually in notepad how do I then incorporate it in Xara Web Designer

As said above, you can put anything in placeholder.

As said above, you can put anything in placeholder.

The HTML and other bits I can put in a placeholder, but I would also need to create one Php file, is that possible in Xara?
