Questions & Answers

Q: My questions regards form builder. I'm looking to design an online membership application form as well as a survey template for my site. What I need is a membership form that will automatically input data like (especially e-mail addresses) into the website's mailing list. My current form accepts the data, transfers it to the sites mailbox...but I have to still manually input names, addresses numbers etc into the mailing list. Too tedious. I need a service that will do that for me. Does Form Builder fit the bill? I also need a survey form that will tabulate results. Is this asking too much? Do you know of any services/software that accomplishes these objectives.

A: Form1 builder will do this. Depending on what database you use to store the information you may use Form1 MYSQL or Form1 GoldMine. Both allow you to automatically import the form data into the specific database. To tabulate the survey results you will most likely need a specific script written and it will depend on what you want to display.

Q: Thank you for Form1 Builder MYSQL - it has saved me so much time figuring MYSQL database writes from scratch. However I am having one problem that I cannot seem to crack. The Subject field that the email is delivered with is always "Form Submission". I have set the variable in the .php code to = "Default Subject"; and I have set the defsubject in the form itself with the following code: <input type="hidden" name="defsubject" value="Subject" /> But nothing seems to work. It is important that I can distinguish between different forms when they are emailed. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

A: Thanks for the feedback. Form Submission is the default subject value. To override this the name you have set as $defsubject must be the name of the field in the form ie set $defsubject = "Subject"; and then in the forms set a hidden field <input type="hidden" name="Subject" value="what ever you want the subject to be" /> and the value will appear as the form subject.

Q: I am using MySql database and would like to know if there is away to have the time/date stamp submitted to the database at the same time that all of the other information is sent?

A: The processed time as set in the form can be included in your database by having a MYSQL table field with the name Processed. This is not a MYSQL timestamp but is a valid date time format and is a record of the form submission time. You could also set up a timestamp field in your MYSQL database and have this automatically filled with a timestamp value when the record is created. Details at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/datetime.html may help.

Q: Can i use your form to create a member database, where members can have a username and password to login to their form and edit their form if need be?

A: Form1 MYSQL or Form1 GoldMine will add data from submitted forms to the respective database ie MYSQL or GoldMine. This could be used to create a member database. However for them being able to login to the database and modify you would need to develop a separate script (and it would not be possible on GoldMine).
