Web Forms IPFW
IPFW employees wanting to gather data from a web form can use a script called JFormMail. This script runs on IPFW servers to allow you to gather data from an IPFW web page.
Before you create a form, you need to consider the nature of the data you are gathering. You should never be gathering sensitive data such as Social Security Numbers or credit card information via JFormMail.
You should also consider the length of your form when planning. Most people will not fill out a long form with a multitude of fields on it--it takes too much effort. You should only be asking for the data you absolutely need.
JFormMail
- Sends data to you via email
- Can send courtesy reply to the person filling out the form
- Can write data to a CSV file for easier manipulation in Excel or Access
- Replacement for "yform" or "formmail"
- JFormMail documentation and sample code
