Before I start reinventing the wheel, I thought I should ask; is there a reccomended tool which makes it easy to create forms that users can fill in and submit in Geeklog?

The forms should have these characteristics;
1) The user fills in the form an presses "OK" (or "submit" or ...)
2) The filled-in form is presented (or a web-page with the results from the form) with a
"confirm" button (and perhaps a "restart" button as well).
3) When the user has confirmed, the data from the form (filed names + data) is written
to a .csv file and mailed to the recipients.

I have looked at phpformgen, I can probably modify a form created with it to do what I want if no better tool exists.

Is this something that is needed. I think I would like to see something like this.

Well, not related to Geeklog but check out PEAR::HTML_QuickForm. It's an easy way to generate forms dynamically.

Yes to both, unfortunately I'm not using it on a publicly accessible site. You can probably google for examples of it in action.

Vinny,
Did you have trouble integrating this form creator with geeklog?
How did you do it exactly?

Thanks Smile
