Q: Hi, this is a pre sales question for you. I run many forms for our rental business and have a couple of specific questions. 1. We run a small perl script that populates certain hidden fields in our current forms, will this still work with your script. See below, in all cases the fields in CAPITALS are overwritten with the contents of the calling string. 2.we call javascript calendars from within our forms to set pick up dates, minimum rental periods etc, will I still be able to use these?

A: Yes you can use any form structure you like. For your scenario the best approach may be to use a separate processing script so you basically use Form1 Builder MYSQL to generate your form processing code and point your existing form to the script. This way the existing form will run as it currently does but when it is submitted the processing script will do the form processing. For details refer to the Form Action Method section of the Help file. You can also give a test run, for details go to https://bizpep.com/form1/

Q: I am looking for a form creator where the data is stored in a MySQL database (I can set that up OK) but I need these things also: 1. Ability to have the info submitted sent to the submitter's email address (with additional info added where required) Auto responder job I guess. 1a. Form to be previewed before being sent... 2. I offer courses for teachers so ability to offer say 4 courses with Course details, check box, course cost (if any) AND to display places available... each time a form is submitted and a course nominated the next form displays x-1 (sort of like stock control) when x=0 then an error results saying the course is fully subscribed or something. Is this possible with your script?

A: You can use Form1 Builder MYSQL to add the form submission data to your database. It will also allow you to send a copy of the form data to the submitter (Email CC) and also send an auto response to the submitter with additional details. Using the Display as HTML before Submission feature will display the form input as a html web page prior to form submission (ie preview). To display the number of places available you will need a little extra script to access, extract and display the data from the database in your form. You can give the Form1 Builder MYSQL a test run and access full details from https://bizpep.com/form1/ .

Q: One last thing which makes me confused is... if we installed it on another PC then how it could read the GoldMine configuration or set the necessary configuration on Goldmine software.

A: Form1 Builder GoldMine builds a script which reads the form data and includes within the email sent information for the GoldMine database. The GoldMine database reads the delivered form data email and imports the data.

Q: If I am right then this software will generate 2 things... one HTML form where user will submit the form and second a Script (Server side script) which will send email to Goldmine software...right?

A: Yes, or you can use an existing form and simply point its form action to the generated GoldMine script. Refer to the Help file for details.

Q: Is there any need to host our site on your server... or we still can host our site with other hosting provider. Our site is live and we don't want to change server.

A: Using Form1 Builder GoldMine everything is on your site. You upload your form/processing script to your server. It does not use our server in any way. If you did require a hosted solution we do provide an alternative service that will do the processing for you. The bizpep Hosting service at https://bizpep.com/host.php provides the ability for you to have the form processing undertaken by our script on our server, however if your server supports php and you upload the Form1 Builder GoldMine files to your server this service is not required.
