Обсуждение: simple tool for building web forms
Can anyone recommend a good tool for building simple web forms w/ a PostgreSQL backend? Emphasis on simple - single table contact info forms, etc. Something that can be presented to end users w/out a lot of hand-holding. E.g. "I want a form w/ last name, first name, # of guests, arrival date. Send notification email of new entries to addressa@xyz and addressb@xyz." Ideally the output could easily be embedded in other web pages. F/OSS preferred, but proprietary not out of the question. This isn't a terribly difficult thing to write, but I imagine it's already been done many times over. I'd rather re-use something existing that re-invent the wheel. Dr. Google hasn't been as helpful as I'd like so far. -- Ron Peterson Network & Systems Manager Mount Holyoke College http://www.mtholyoke.edu/~rpeterso - I wish my computer would do what I want it to do - not what I tell it to do.
http://www.sqlmaestro.com/products/postgresql/ I've used the PHP Code Generator with great success for simple stuff like you describe. You could then write a function to do email notifications or whatever you want.

For simple forms, there really isn't much to it, and can easily be integrated with an existing site. If you're looking to a more complex tool, I would recommend any one of the popular Content Management Systems (CMSs). I've had success with many but have been using Drupal lately, combined with the OSS / flash-based, Flex framework. As far a proprietary software, www.businessobjects.com is quite popular with the corporate industry. jcvlz

I'm familiar with these tools, but they are solving a different problem. I want something *end users* can use to produce their own *simple* web forms. The best solution I've found so far is Zoho Creator: http://creator.zoho.com/ I'm not finding any similar good F/OSS tool in the same space. -- Ron Peterson Network & Systems Manager Mount Holyoke College http://www.mtholyoke.edu/~rpeterso - I wish my computer would do what I want it to do - not what I tell it to do.
