formatted form results - 9/8/2006 10:44:18   
I did a search and found a post from catdat called neatly formatted form results. The post mentions a way to achieve that action. I have tried to make contact but it seems the trail has gone cold. Has anyone been in contact or used this post?

It seems that this is a popular request. I have been looking for some time now.

Advanced Form Handling www.hkprog.com/afh provides ability to format email in any format you choose. It is template driven allowing you to create response in either plain text or HTML.

Also includes the ability to echo results back to customer, send attachments. Includes Advanced Form Creator. You can create complex forms in minutes. Open source. Both free and commercial versions.

Doesn't seem to include the option to add label tags which would be a big no-no in my books. Also it's laid out with a table.

The format is totally flexible. You can add label tags, control how the fields are displayed. This applies both to the email and the bowser display if you wish to echo back the results to the browser.

If you do not want to bother creating your own template the Advanced Form Handling will do it dynamically adding fieldname and value.

If you store the results in the database, you can create a beautiful printable results form or use the default to display the results in a table.

You can dynamically change the captions. For example if a field name is mycpynme it can appear as My Company Name in error messages and displays.

I've been having a go with the demo to see what's possible etc but I can't quite figure out which bit you'd use to enter the label tag - it's a bit late so I'm probably just being slow!

Can you send me questions directly to support@hkprog.com.

It will be faster. If you have your site up, can you send the the url where the form is located.

Thanks

I do my own forms by hand so I wouldn't actually use the product myself but I like to know how stuff works in case it might be useful to others and I'd have something to recommend to them.

I am happy to answer your questions, just write me at support@hkprog.com. There is no cost.

I am slighly guessing at your problem. The test form comes with two email templates called testform_mailsite.txt (email you receive)
testform_mailresponder.txt (email customer receives)

The template is simply your own information plus where you want the form responses to be filled in. The items in brackets are form field names. Everything else is your text or captions. For example in testform_mailsite.txt

First name: [Firstname]
Last name: [Lastname]
Email: [Email]
Comment: [comment]

You o use the templates by adding hidden files or a configuration file. In the testform.htm you will see two hidden fields to say what the template file names are.

<input type=hidden name="config_emailtemplate" value="testform_mailsite.txt">

<input type=hidden name="config_emailrespondertemplate" value="testform_mailresponder.txt">

Did this help?

There is a very extensive User's Guide and quite a bit of online help also if you want to get deeper into it.

PS
Try the online Advanced Form Creator and see if it does not speed up your form development by orders of magnitude.

Thanks I'll have a look.

I don't find forms difficult to churn out by hand pretty fast - but then again I don't usually have to do more than single page forms!

Any caveats about FP and PHP?
