Is there a pre-made customizable form script?

Post by SquirrelHat »

Bit of a dumb title, I know. And I'll apologize in advance for asking nooby and "let me google that for you" questions here. (Yes, I already have.)

I'm volunteering for a small charity organization, and I've been asked to revamp their website. I'm not a web dev, I just know more about CSS than the other two dozen people here, and there wasn't enough in the budget to hire a paid professional. I'm doing okay so far, but I know absolutely nothing about PHP. I was hoping someone here could point me to a pre-made script that I can borrow to use for adoption application forms. Simple stuff -- it'd just be fields on the page like "Why are you looking to adopt?" (followed by a textbox), "Have you ever adopted before?" (Yes/no), etc. Fill it out, click submit, and it sends a formatted email out to a specified address.

That should be fairly simple, right? Yet I can't seem to find a form online that'll suit my needs. Maybe I just don't know the right name for it. Anyway, I'd be really grateful if someone could help me out here. And if not, I apologize for cluttering up the forum with this sort of thing.

I recommend you check out CodeIgniter... it should be what you're looking for. It's a PHP framework that should allow you to whip something up relatively quickly.

I'm working on my own framework that does exactly what you're talking about, but it's not ready to be opened up yet, so I'd recommend CodeIgniter.
