What is it?

phpFormGenerator is a simple online tool for creating dependable and effective Web forms with ease. phpFormGenerator generates the HTML code, the form processor code, and the field validation code automatically through a point-and-click interface, meaning absolutely no programming is required. The software was developed by Musawir Ali using the PHP scripting language originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994.

Who is it for?

phpFormGenerator is an effective tool for anyone who needs to generate online forms. The forms built with this software are compatible with any Web site and can be placed anywhere. It can add interactivity and attractiveness to a Web site and draw attention to professionally designed Web forms. General users do not have to worry about technical information, expert programmers can save time, and hosting companies can offer it as a powerful tool to clients unsure of how to build forms to their Web sites. The software is available for free through a GNU General Public License.

Features

phpFormGenerator has the ability to create up to 100 form fields with a variety of field types including text boxes, drop down selection menus, check boxes, radio buttons, and free form text areas. All field types are highly customizable. Once the form has been generated, it is a fully functional Web form. Features include error checking of required fields, email address validation, credit card number and expiry date checking, multiple attachments sending, and email auto responding.

phpFormGenerator also provides several delivery formats. Form results can be delivered via email, sent to a MySQL database, and written to a data file that can be opened in Excel and other programs. Users simply click “Create a Form” on the Web site, follow the intuitive phpFormGenerator wizard, and copy the generated files to their servers. The tool is free and users can use their forms any way they choose, without any restrictions.

A new version phpFormGenerator 3.0 now is available for public testing through a demo site that allows users to test the program before installation. It is not yet available for public download to allow the developer time to gather feedback and work out any problems or concerns. New features for this version include the point-and-click interface, multiple-page forms, the ability to add and remove fields dynamically without switching pages, pre-populated fields, non-invasive tooltips, and live validation fields including dates with a pop-up calendar and email. A video tutorial is available for viewing as well.
