Form script

looking for script producing fancy looking output

[stef25]

a client wants to use a form that conducts an extensive survey of its employees. the employees will be asked to fill in standard data fields.

its important the client receive the results of the form via email, preferably as an attachment. the report should *look good*, ie varying font sizes and colors to distinguish between content and titles, generally a nice layout. the attachment will be printed out and then filed

hotscripts.com has alot of scripts but none seem to specify if the output will be nice looking.

can anyone recommend anything?

Hi stef25,

I think a formmailer that is able to send HTML e-mails is what you need. I know of a script that uses templates for the mail. You can customize the layout - even HTML - so that it looks as you wish. I can sticky you the link, if you want.

Best regards

Why preferably as an attachment? Can't you send a HTML email?

[stef25]

it doesnt have to be an attachment, i just thought that html emails dont always look the way they should depeding on what client is used and this is exacerbated by printing the mail.

the report cant contain the outlook headers, it will be an official document that needs to be audited etc.

right now we just write it up in a .doc, but alot of the data is very standard, ie dates, names, codes, questions that can be answered yes with a simple check box and a few text fields

a previous company i worked for had paid for their own software to be developed but im sure it can be run off our server with a good form to email tool at a fraction of the cost

namenick i stickied you

Then you should work with PDF. I know that there are PHP command to output PDF page. Never done it so can't tell you more - but it may not look fancy.
