   I am a novice (at best) PHP coder. I do OK at tweeking and using open source code, but have so many other things on my plate that I just can't commit to becoming an expert.

   I have purchased a single and three pack license, and am currently using 3 of the 4.

   The predominant request I get from my clients is the ability to view form entries on the web. Not download the Excel file or have to log in to the Admin panel.

   I am willing to contribute $150.00 to anyone that can come up with php coding that would allow the construction of web pages based on the machform database. It would need to give the ability to choose required fields, then build a page based on those choices. Most especially important would be the ability to choose option fields also and have them properly link to (appear with) the main data fields

   I know it can be done manually, as I have one page that uses the method outlined in
   http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/querying-machform-database?replies=10#post-6852

   But, some forms I have are so complex, with numerous drop downs, I just don't want to deal with the hand coding required to meet the challenge.

   If this can be done, and someone feels this is a fair price for coding, I would after testing it and assuring it works well, would contribute it back to Appnitro for them to distribute as a free tool.

   That would be quite a project. You would need to add fields in to the machform database to link with each user you want to have access for. That would make anyone nervous. Check out some forum topics with an eye on custom hooks. Here is one http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/custom_hooks-and-multiple-forms?replies=2

   and

   Look at my demo that I threw together - its predefined fields and tables (not machform though) but its in line with what your clients have requested.

   Yes I agree would like to display some of the submission info on a webpage. Much like the display entries page. I would like to choose date or date range, and some of the fields I capture from submitter in machforms. The idea would be to display name, address and a line of info requested on webpage (or in pdf format) as ready to use labels. Then to print webpage on label stock to mail info to the customers. I could add another $50.00 to the coding.
