What is Form Tools?

Form Tools is an extremely powerful, versatile form processor, storage and access script written in PHP and MySQL, designed to work with any existing web form. It creates a custom database table based on your form data to store all submissions from the form.

With a few minor changes to your form, you can stop using old-fashioned form-mail scripts and instead store form submissions in a database, providing yourself and your clients with a wealth of tools for managing your form data. Option such as exporting your data via excel, CSV and XML, printer-friendly pages, data sorting and subdivision, email notifications and client accounts (with custom permissions) are all available "out of the box". But through Form Tools' module library you can expand the core functionality in whatever way you want, such as using Swift Mailer for auto-email notifications, "Submission Accounts" to allow users to return later to re-edit their form submissions and more. There's also an API to help you integrate your forms, a theme library and some rock solid documentation to help you get started.
