Arclab® Web Form Builder
Create Single and Multi-Page Web Forms and Upload the Forms to Your
Website
PHP/Web Form Editor for Windows PC
With Arclab® Web Form Builder, both single-page and multi-page forms can be created. The PHP web forms created by the program can be executed directly on your own website, so that there are no additional costs for hosting the forms. Another advantage of this is that no data is passed on to third parties. Web Form Builder is a visual web form editor for Windows PC, with which it is possible to create PHP forms without programming knowledge. The created PHP forms can be run on any website that supports PHP 5.3.2++, 7 or 8. The program is available in three versions and can be used by beginners as well as web professionals.
Single-Page Web Forms
With a single-page web form, all input fields are arranged on one
form page. The program provides a large number of input elements for
this. These include e.g. input fields for email addresses, input fields
for postcode, drop-down list fields, radio buttons or numeric input
fields.
A signature field, fields for file upload and elements for
PayPal® payments are also available.
A classic example of
a one-page web form is a contact form in which the user input is sent
to a specified email address. A "Submit" button is used to submit the
web form. When the user clicks on the button, the entered form data
is sent to the website and processed there. Following the processing,
the "Success Page" (see below) is displayed or the browser is optionally
redirected to another webpage.
Multi-Page Web Forms
If a web form contains a large number of input fields, it is
advisable to distribute them over several form pages in order to
distribute the input fields as clearly and user-friendly as possible.
The layout and design of the web form can be freely designed and
adapted to your needs, so that the form can be seamlessly integrated
into your existing web page.
An example of this would be
an order form in which the user and address data are requested on
the first page, while the item selection or payment takes place
on the second page of the form. Web Form Builder can also be used
to create very extensive forms with many form pages. The user can
switch between the pages using navigation buttons, which are inserted
in most forms at the bottom of the form pages.
The first page contains a "Next Page" button, the intermediate
pages a "Previous Page" and "Next Page" button, while the last page
contains a "Previous Page" and a "Submit" button. This allows you
to design a sequence of pages which the user can fill out one after
the other.
Since the form pages are dynamically inserted
into the host page, the page switching takes place without the host
page having to be reloaded. Clicking on the "Submit" button on the
last form page triggers the data transfer and all form data will
be submitted to the website. When switching between the form pages,
there is no data transfer to the website and no cookies are set
in the user's browser. After the form data has been submitted to
the website and processed, the "Success Page" is displayed (see
below).
Data Processing and Success Page
After the form data has been submitted, it is processed by the
PHP script. The script can perform various tasks, such as sending
an email, sending a confirmation message to the user, entering the
data in a MySQL database or executing user-defined PHP code. You
can create a whole sequence of tasks in the program that are to
be executed. In addition, you can define conditions which must be
met for the respective task.
After all tasks have been performed
by the script, the "Success Page" is displayed. This page is used
to inform the user that the data transfer was successful. You can
design this page as you wish. It is also possible to redirect the
user to another webpage instead.
