Confirm email field + a few other queries from a newbie

[beelady11]

Hi
I've never used form tools before and it looks good!

A few Q's:

• I'd like to put a 'confirm email' field in my form - can I do this with form tools?
  
• Can I use Form tools with an existing form I've written in XHTML to validate fields and produce the PHP, etc?
  
• Will I be able to put little images with check boxes (so the user can select an image) on my Form tools form?
  

Thanks in anticipation!

Hi beelady!

I'd like to put a 'confirm email' field in my form - can I do this with form tools?

Sure, absolutely. Form Tools works by letting you specify which of your form fields contain email addresses. You can then use the contents of those fields to be the recipient of an email that gets triggered when the form is submitted.

Can I use Form tools with an existing form I've written in XHTML to validate fields and produce the PHP, etc?

Yup! Depending on the complexity of your form (multi-page, has server-side validation etc) you'll probably want to use the API. That gives you a lot of flexibility for integrating your own form and PHP with Form Tools.

Will I be able to put little images with check boxes (so the user can select an image) on my Form tools form?

haha sure - you can do whatever you want with your own form, there are no restrictions at all.

All the best -
