That's cool, I wish I could find something like that for regex. :mrgreen:

Here is the one I've been using for a few years and it's not just PHP but also ASP (if you just so happen to be suffering at work)...

You have it streamlined which is really good though I think if you made some improvements you'd have a smashing hit!

1.) The first time I visited I thought my email address would be collected. You need to somehow and minimally state that it's merely used for the destination of the form.

2.) The HTML is kind of junky and if anything you should output XHTML instead of HTML (where XHTML served as text/html isn't too problematic though a break line element <br> served as application/xhtml+xml is nothing but trouble).

3.) Clean up the presentation a little bit. Perhaps add a div:hover effect for parts of the page. Use heads and maybe add a border so each "section" of each page feels a little more orderly.

Besides that it's a great form generator though to be honest the first time I went I was a bit confused.

It could still be collected and sold to a spammer.. The very fact it's going to be used as the destination for a web form means it's likely to be a working email address belonging to either a web master or a business owner. Those are the ones that are worth something.

Not saying that's the case here of course, just saying it's possible.

To be honest I'll never really use my real email address in a form like that so I usually put something fake instead. It doesn't hurt to go through the PHP code later and look for @ and change the email address. Honestly if any service like that would absolutely require email confirmation I'd never go back any way. I suppose our email addresses here would hold more weight somehow but I trash all junk email, I mean all of it and I would imagine anyone else who is web savvy would too.

However it's great that you guys have set that form generator up and are willing to improve it.

...now if someone could just set something up for regex generator... :wink:

onion2k: I had added this note to the page:
If you afraid from collecting your Email (and WILL NOT), then You can Enter a fake Email, and edit the form file after finish to enter the real one.
;)

JAB Creations: Good idea about regex ;) , Also in study.

Cool...

Yeah I imagine an easy regex would make use of step by step select menus that add to the regex, highlight the newly added syntax (and removes the highlighting of the previously added syntax) so people can figure out much easier how all of it goes together.

Regex is a pain, making a regex generator will require more patience then can be fathomed. If you pull it off though I'll bookmark it for sure. :mrgreen:
