Of all the similar products I've looked at, I like the general look/feel of MachForm the most. Did I read correctly somewhere else that the source code for MachForm is included? If that's true can I assume that modifying it to suit my needs, IE write to other DB formats, wouldn't violate any license terms?

So you won't be able to design your own table structure. </p> <p>If you already have an existing tables, I'm afraid MachForm won't be suitable for you. Sorry. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/can-you-send-the-form-data-to-a-php-script#post-1419 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 22:00:28 +0000 bob 1419@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I'm this-close to buying phpform, but have one question. If I create a form that stores data in a mysql db, is this database something hard-coded into phpform, or can it be a database and table structure of my own design (or in my case a monstrous app/db that already exists and we're trying to build forms for)? I'm sure the form source code can be edited by hand to accomplish this, but if I have to go to that much effort then might as well write the page from scratch. Didn't find a clear answer to this under Features or here in the forum, sorry if it's been asked and answered already.

MachForm doesn't have this feature.</p> <p>However, if you do some programming, you can customize MachForm code to do that.<br /> I can't help you with the code, but I'll give you a clue for you to continue.</p> <p>To send data to other script on other domain, you'll need to use a web client library, such as this one: <a href="http://scripts.incutio.com/httpclient/index.php" rel="nofollow">http://scripts.incutio.com/httpclient/index.php</a></p> <p>Write the code and put it into MachForm code which process the submission.<br /> It should be placed inside process_form() function in includes/post-functions.php file. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/can-you-send-the-form-data-to-a-php-script#post-1407 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 05:22:04 +0000 AMurray 1407@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I don't believe so, since the Machform has the processing code built in; it processes to a MySQL Db and also to your email.</p> <p>I don't know the licence conditions allow the "other domain" thing....unless you purchase the extra licence(s), since the Machform has to be on the domain/web site you're using it on for it to work. Yuniar might correct me on this. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/can-you-send-the-form-data-to-a-php-script#post-1399 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 18:01:48 +0000 warthogweb 1399@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Can you send the form data to a php script on another domain - i.e. as a personal info collecting form prior to ecommerce?<br /> Martin </p>
