There is an excellent freeware tool available to generate any kind of
forms in php using a very simple web-based interface.
This software generates code that has to be stored on your server, so
please understand that I canīt provide the files but the software to
generate the code. Iīve been using the software for a lot of webpages
and Iīm sure you will be satisfied.
Please have a look at the PHP Formmail Generator at
( http://phpfmg.sourceforge.net/home.php ).
Itīs a tool that is used to
"create ready-to-use web forms in a flash. Once the form has been
generated, you have a full functional web form. Including error
checking of required fields, email address validation, credit card
number & expiry date checking, multiple attachments sending, and email
auto responding. "
(from the same source as above)
You will find a demo of the very simple but yet powerful web interface
of the generator there. To get copies of the sent form to two a-mail
addresses simply input the two e-mail addresses separated by a colon
in the field "Direct All Emails to:"
You will have to download the phpformmail generator code from the
website and follow the easy installation steps:
