Create a new Form


You can either use the "New Form Wizard" or simply start adding form elements to the form.

 

All settings are available through the "Form Properties".

 

new form 1


Arclab Web Form Builder allows you to build a php web form page based on a HTML host page. The HTML host page is the HTML page in which the form should be inserted. The host page will be used as a template only - it will not be changed. The php script contains the content of the HTML host page with the inserted web form, which can host multiple form pages. All the required php code will be included in this file.

The wizard asks if you want to load a HTML host page now or continue without loading a HTML host page.
You can also load a HTML host page later in the "Form Properites".

 

new form 2

 

The HTML host page (template) must contain the placeholder keyword: ARCLABWEBFORM

Adding the "placeholder" keyword is very simple. Open the HTML page in your HTML editor and add the keyword ARCLABWEBFORM at the desired position. You can do this in WYSIWYG or in the HTML source mode of your HTML editor.

Just type in ARCLABWEBFORM (there is no special formatting required!)

You can either load a local file or download a web page. Downloading a webpage might be useful if the page contains content, which will not be visible in the local file, e.g. when using server side includes.

 

new form 4

 

There are only a few settings required to create a form, the "Email Format", "Recipient" and "Subject".
More options are available in the "Form Properties".

The program supports Text in the form Var=Value, HTML formatted output and XML.
