I have a HTML page with several form elements. I need a custom CGI
form that will format and display the fields in HTML, then email it
(using an email field in the HTML). The important part is I'd like to
have some fine control over the formatting -- the output HTML. Most
scripts just spit out the fields in order; I'd like to intersperse
some text and HTML in the output (both the HTML output and the emailed
output). |

Hi, JHabley-ga ~
Would a well-rated, easy-to-install cgi script that is totally
customizable and versatile fit the bill?
I know of a script which has been recommended by newbies and seasoned
veterans alike for its versatility and usefulness (which seems to be
limited only by your imagination on how to put it to work).
You can customize it for your purposes and so much more, and it has
the ability to spam-proof your site, because no email addresses are
required for the form to function.
It's not free, but it is under $US 50. I've seen it customized and
used for everything from custom blog pages to a fully automated online
course.
If you feel this will be suitable for your needs, I'll post the
information for you.

Hello, jhabley:
Are you looking for a PHP script or for a Perl script?
Regards.

Hi to both of you.
1. I'm looking for something more simple than a big script that does
everything. I need something where I can basically output HTML with
field results interspersed where I want. i.e. <b>Time of booking</b>:
<i>[[BOOKINGTIME]]</i>.
2. Undecided as to perl or PHP. PHP would be fine, I suppose.

Take a look at WillMaster's Masterform V3 - it has what you need, and
the ability to do what you want easily.
- http://answers.google.com/answers/main?cmd=threadview&id=252027#a
The nice thing about Will Bontrager's scripts is they are clean, easy
to install and use, and there are a long list of people who are
impressed by what he does (and surprisingly, a longer of list of
people who use his scripts).

Incidentally, the form will require some IF statements.
i.e. IF CHECKBOX1 IS SELECTED, PRINT "<p>Checkbox 1 is on."
The final output will be both in a HTML page and inside a textarea
(for easy clipboard-copying), and will be emailed to an email address
on the form.

Hi,
It sounds like you need some real custom programming. Is it possible
that you could give us a list of all the requirements of your program,
and an example of the output? I'm sure this can be done, in fact, I'm
positive, but I doubt that there will be an existing script out there
which can do it for you.
