Does anyone have any examples they could point me to or zip up and show me of very complex 50/60 field forms, many fields populated by support tables and mysql etc. built in flags to decide whether to preview posted data (self submiting) and so on which they have managed to do in CLASS form. I am working on a project at the moment which is for a major whats on magazine. The number of forms for so many different thigns is immense, the amount of fields and the complexity of the forms is as baffling as I have ever dealt with and I gave up trying to ramp up my form generator because the amount of data it would have to be made aware of to build the form meant it was quicker to just write each form as an individual dedicated function, albeit not as professional looking. I don't mind doing this but it takes a LONG time.
I am sure someone has been in the same boat before - how have other people tackled the problem. If anyone is interested I can send an example of a form function which is about 900 lines of code.
