Are there any instructions or ideas on how to format the email sent through a form using the PHP Feedback Form Action?
I get the field names, but I’d like to see what else is possible.

Hi Dan,
I created the action as a general data processor. As such it doesn’t much care about the data it has to process and simply spits out a set of name/value pairs as it gets them to process. You can adjust the order the data is processed by moving the fields in your original form - the higher up the page the sooner they should appear in your email.
If you fancy trying your hand at a bit of PHP it would be quite easy to adjust the -go.php file the action creates to work with a templated response (either in plain text or HTML) that you could inject the form data into before sending.
Although the action was initially intended as a simple and rather general form processor it has become somewhat complex in having to adjust to different server setups. The next version of the action will, I suspect, be a return to this initial ideal with extended functionality (like templated replies) being handled by add-ons to the core action. That’s the plan - at least for now. 
Out of interest what did you have in mind?
Regards,
Tim.

Well I’d like to format it a bit so specific form fields go into formatted spots. So instead of getting the:
Fieldname: fieldentry
I could change it to:
Custom Field Name: fieldentry
or just some way to space things out or do something more with it rather than just a quick list out of the fields and field results.

Hi,
Did this action ever get to the stage of a customised templated response email? I have a client who doesn’t much like the way the email gets sent to him, and before I break everything in trying to format the responses, I thought I had better check to see if anyone else had managed it first!

Tim made some noises a while ago about a “2.0” version of PHPFF, but so far nothing has been released. He was planning to drop (or drop-kick) all support for GoDaddy, and make it easier and more automatic on the server setup side, I don’t recall if he was also thinking about sending HTML e-mail or anything like that.

OK Walter. Thanks for that. I of course appreciate that such an action even exists, but with the new site design now live for my client, requests are coming thick and fast and processing them is not easy. I will take another look somewhere else.
