If you had to recreate this form what would you do if you did not have any experience with PHP? I’d like to give it a go but don’t want to outsource and loose the job…
Create your form in Freeway and if you want extra styling, use the Form Styler action on each element, the apply the PHP Feedback Form action to the page.
In the actions pallet you can enter the link to the success and error pages and also the email address you’d like form to go to.
Don’t forget to give each element an ID so you know what has been filled in once the form has been received.
Thanks - what about the add a postcode bit? That will auto add the address? Also theres some parts where you can add attachments and add extra boxes to fill out? All in the PHP actions?
Freeway supports creating a whole range of form elements. I would strongly recommend you read the manual about this, as there are some wrinkles to form-building that are not intuitive.
The Action “wires” the Freeway-generated form so it will be sent by mail from your server to a designated address. It does not help you create fields or do anything special with them. It will just mindlessly copy the entire contents of the form as submitted and post it to you. It does offer one level of validation – if you have a text field named exactly ‘email’ (without the quotes, capitalization is critical) then it will check that field to see if it contains a valid-looking e-mail address.
