Using coffeecup web form builder to create a form seems easy.....
I would like to know if AFTER CREATING A SEARH FORM with a multiple checkbox and a drop down menu., can a visitor automatically retrieve the results on a web page by hitting the submit button ???
never mind sending response or confirmation by emails.. just basically a search engine with a response..

Let say I have a list of members with different specialties and different location. I would like visitors to be able to use a search form that would give them a list of selected members according to their location and specialty and display them nicely on a web page.
I am a newbie, I am ok with HTML and creating a custom form but I know nothing about Java or php.
my server use PHP 5.4 and mysql 5.5.40. does this software generates automatically the php code for this or do I have to modify it?
If there is some programming to do what would be the complete php code for this?

Thanks for your advice.

I would use the form builder to build the form then write my own custom myformname.php to handle the submit and return the proper data.

I am 70, I know nothing about php
I looked at your http://progrower.coffeecup.com/ website. Wonderful website!!!, I may learn a lot from it, but I could not find how to write a php code for a custom formname.php to retrieve the results on a webpage..
. Do you have any example I could refer to?
I need to list specialties for pet sitters, like for example Dog Walking, Pet Sitting, Overnight, Dog Training.fish. birds, reptiles, etc
Visitors need to find one or more providers offering selected services covering their own zip code since the provider come to their place.

I was thinking of a drop down menu for the zipcode rather than having the visitor to write his own. Since not ALL zipcodes are covered, I like the visitor to be able to see that HIS OWN zip code is in the list and choose from the dropdown menu .In another hand "specialties" need to be in a multiple choice checkbox .
I would really appreciate you guidance in this!

Give me a while and I'll put together a quick example for what I think your looking for.

IO really appreciate this! Thanks

I have been trying to find a solution for a month now, !..

Here's the form.

Here's the data being returned with dynamic dropdowns.

Thank a million.~
It is working on your website and returning the info that I entered in your form
that is exactly what I want to do (excepted the specialty function being a multi choice check-box) but I think I may be able to adapt it to it..... but how do I get the PHP code for this?
I already built a mysql database with (some) info. How do I get he PHP code to reproduce this?.

sorry, I found it...dummy me... I am going to study this Thanks!

I put a link to the script on the page.
All you need to do is make a form and style things the way you want.
It should be easy enough for users to make adjustments to their needs.
