The automatic creation of form processing scripts can be performed using various applications running online or desktop based. But many of the online form generators do not provide all the customization options needed to process the form content in a certain way. For example, the form content could be sent to an email recipient with or without all fields validation.

Forms to Go is not a form generator tool. It is a Windows based application that is capable to import the HTML form code from any file type (such as PHP, ASP, Perl) and to generate the PHP, ASP or Perl script necessary to process the form. The form data can go to an email recipient, a flat file or a MySQL, PostgreSQL or MS Access database. Forms to Go application allows you to implement different validation options for your form fields. As a consequence, in the form processing script fields validation code for captcha, postal codes, credit cards, email address and more can be generated.

There are many security options that could be included in the generated script that will process the form using some predefined filters. The script execution could be determined (filtered) by HTTP referer, stop words and IP address. The landing pages (the pages viewed by the visitor after the form submission) have three possibilities of definition through redirection, embed and message method. The most recommended method of landing pages definition is the last one, because in case of an error the user will be automatically guided to repair it.

After submitting a form users can receive a confirmation message in their inbox or you can allow them to upload files in a given form that will be sent to your email address alogside the rest of the form content. The possibilities of form processing options are endless as you can see. Forms to Go will also help you reduce spam and have valid HTML code, because it validates the HTML code of the form. This Windows application will save you a lot of time by automatically creating complex PHP, ASP or Perl scripts, being suitable both for beginners and advanced users.
