I am looking for preferably a free html form processor php script for a website. The features I need are this... Puts form info into mysql db, sends an email to webmaster when user submits form, and also handles file uploads where it can upload multiple files along with text info and put the location of uploaded files into the mysql db along with the users text info. I haven't had any luck finding something with these features yet...maybe someone here can help. 🙂

    Hi skip.

    That's a big ask!

    These forums are really for people who do it themselves and have got a bit stuck, or need advice on how to do it for themselves.

    There are literally hundred's of sites on the web with articles/tutorials/scripts that you could google for.

    Even then, most of these won't give you exactly what you want, but would need to be adapted to suit your particular needs.

    So maybe your best bet is to get (pay) someone to do it for you (but don't ask here ... it's against the rules of the forum).

    Paul.

      Paul, thanks for the response. I have found a couple that do everything I want except for the file upload part. I would attempt to modify it myself but I would like it sooner than later and it would be too much for my first big php script mod. If I were to pay someone to do it for me what would you say, as an estimate, is the most I should have to pay to have it done?

      Thanks

        Hi again,

        Bit hard to say really ... but the first thing to do would be to phone up a couple of companies and get an idea of the 'local' going rate.

        And if you had the scripts you found already up and running then that would cut the cost down somewhat. But as I said before, you normally have to adapt the scripts to fit your needs, or edit a config file to access the database you've built already, etc.

        Or if you're at college (maybe not. given your name 🙂 ), then give your computer dept. a bell!

        Paul.

          I've written a system called Uniform that does all that and a lot more. You define a form using xml, including things like a directory to upload files to, an email to send out, multiple file uploads, database stuff (it can handle cross referenced tables, and loads more), and the system does the rest.

          But its sort of copyrighted to the company I work for. Which is a bit of a bugger. Its also very lacking in documentation.

          Seriously though, what you're after isn't that big a challenge. You could write a basic form processor in a couple of weekends.

            since you already have everything else that you want you might try the tutorials at [url]http://www.phpfreaks.com,[/url] I know they have a good script tutorial on writing an upload class.
