Form Tools?

[traq]

I've been looking around for .php resources to process forms on my website. I've just started out on this, having become throughly frustrated by FrontPage Server Extensions and resolved to eliminate my dependence on them, and I'd like some input from others.

I found a freeware package called "Form Tools (http://www.formtools.org)." I admit that I don't really know what I'm looking for, but this seems to be it. Anyone have experience using it? Other recommendations?

thanks much in advance!

Here (http://www.dagondesign.com/articles/secure-php-form-mailer-script/) is a script that comes highly recommended by some other DD forum members.

I haven't had the need to use it myself since I found out about it but it seems very robust and I've been told it's extremely secure.

I'd give it a look if I were you.

Medyman,

Is there a topic here already to discuss that Dagon Design script? I'm trying to use it but having some issues and I searched and couldn't find anything else.

Thanks in advance

thanks, medyman! this looks like it's more focused on emailing -which is what I need right now- than Form Tools, which also seems to be geared towards administrating databases and form processing for multiple "clients" -which is not something I need at the moment, but I'm thinking may be worth it for "someday."

Anyone else with input? thanks again.

Yes, there are plenty.

Search for keywords like "form" or "email form" through all of Blizzard's posts. He's written about this script a few times.

I tried out the dagondesign script, and I've got it working -kinda.

After I fill out the form and click "submit," I get a 404 page. I've triple-checked that the redirect is to a valid page, but I'm supposed to get a "thanks" message before that that I don't get either... I don't know what else the problem might be. Any ideas?
here's the form: http://seascouts.arrowheadsps.org/dd-formmailer/ct-formmailer.php
(feel free to test out the form if you need to, just put "test" in the message box and I'll know what's going on... if it works!)

*****EDIT: got it working. forgot to update one of the links. thanks everyone!******

thanks!

and if anyone has more advice/opinions/options, or has experience with FormTools (re post #1), please let me know!
