Hi Everyone. I am after a webform system, or able to make a system that can have content submitted to a database by the form (we need to reference some info for fields - if they enter a staff ID it populates their name and manager from a reference list)

We then need to be able to arrange this data and the ability to edit it in a seperate page. Can this be done?

Yes, but not in the method that you might normally use. WFB posts to a table, but the fieldnames for the input fields must match the database table's fields. See my post about MySql fields at

Did you know that Web Form Builder can be used for both simple and complicated forms and that it's not limited to the default fonts and buttons? Take a look at a form we developed for WindowTinting.com.

I have a similar question. I am a newbie so forgive my little knowledge.
Can a search from created with Coffeecup Web form builder software (HTML) retrieve data from database when pushing the submit button - and how do you do this? Cannot find this anywhere.

I need to build a custom search form for visitors looking for pet Care providers with several specialties (check-box) doing service within their home zip-code.. I created the database (about 20 pet care providers) in my server, with mysql 5..5.40 and PHP 5.4.
the database should return the result on a web page,with a printable presentation

I should have no problem creating an HTML search form and posting it in a web page.
My concern is the php.form and the correct codes (from A to Z) ( compatible with 5.5.4 Mysql version.) in order to retrieve members who are covering potential customer's area with the needed specialties.

I did find a manual for 5.5 mysql but being a newbie:rolleyes: (70 years old,) I am getting desperate for trying for a month now, studying 8 to 10 hours a day 7 days a week. I really need a walker for this, and I would really appreciate help. I need to do this ASAP.
Thank you.

You would need to write your own custom scripts for the form to submit to in order to accomplish this task.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
