If your form has any field which needs validation and the user entered something incorrect, the form will be redirected back to the original view.php form, not the custom form you use. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/using-external-form#post-11539 Fri, 04 Mar 2011 00:20:44 +0000 PatrickHamil 11539@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hello All,</p> <p>I have a clarification that I wish to be made by someone who knows how MachForm works before I dedicate the rest of the day to performing this.</p> <p>I want to create a form outside of MachForm, and have it processed by MachForm.</p> <p>Is this the correct steps for doing so?</p> <p>I created the form first in MachForm.</p> <p>Now I will use the form that MF generated to grab all needed IDs and Names for inputs and the form itself and place them in my "New" hand coded form?</p> <p>After that I will point the action of my form to "http://www.domain.com/machform/view.php"?</p> <p>Will this let MF process the form as though it was sent from the MF generated form? Will it still capture the entries, set the auto-repsonders, etc, etc?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Patrick Hamil </p>
