I wonder if someone might be able to help me please.
A client wants forms to go to a MySQL database and for the number of forms received in a day to be restricted. They want to receive an email when a form is submitted but this is simply to inform them of that fact. They don't want any of the form content to be sent over email.
Questions:
- How do I set up a front end for the database, for the client to access the information, probably from within WordPress? I am familiar with WordPress but my knowledge of databases and php is extremely limited.
- I know quotas can be set on a form, via the database, but is it possible to set that limit over several forms, so that when, say, 5 of one, 2 of another and 3 of yet another have been completed, all forms display a message like "quota reached for today"?
- With input going to MySQL, can an email go out to purely advise that a form has been submitted?
I know this is more of a question about MySQL than Web Form Builder but I thought someone may have had the need to set up something similar.
There are some very knowledgeable people on this forum and any assistance would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Joy
