Anybody have a form script?

xml to my knowledge is not for creating a form script. You'll need html to create the form and then either php, asp, jsp, or some other server side language to interpret it and do with it what you want. What exactly are you wanting to do with the information you receive from the form?

You could use php html and xml to create a form script but not xml by its self.

Here's one in php. It will send an e-mail to where you want. You should change it up to fit what you're wanting it to do.
Code:
<html>
<head><title>Feedback Form</title></head>
<body>
<?php
$self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$username = $_POST['username'];
$useraddr = $_POST['useraddr'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$userpostaladdr = $_POST['userpostaladdr'];
$telnum = $_POST['telnum'];
$sent = $_POST['sent'];
#the HTML form that can be written dynamically
$form ="<form action=\"$self\" method=\"post\">";
$form.="Name:<input type=\"text\" name=\"username\"";
$form.=" size=\"30\" value=\"$username\" ><br/><br/>";
$form.="Email:<input type=\"text\" name=\"useraddr\"";
$form.=" size=\"30\" value=\"$useraddr\"><br/><br/>";
$form.="Address:<input type=\"text\" name=\"userpostaladdr\"";
$form.=" size=\"100\" value=\"$userpostaladdr\"><br/><br/>";
$form.="Telephone:<input type=\"text\" name=\"telnum\"";
$form.=" size=\"30\" value=\"$telnum\"><br/><br/>";
$form.="Comments:<textarea name=\"comments\" cols=\"30\" rows=\"5\">";
$form.="$comments</textarea><br/>";
$form.="<input type=\"submit\" name=\"sent\" value=\"Send Form\">";
$form.="</form>";
if($sent)
{
#set variable default value
$valid=true;
#check username field is not blank
if( !$username )
{ $errmsg.="Enter your name...<br />"; $valid = false; }
#check email useraddr field is not blank
if( !$useraddr )
{ $errmsg .="Enter your email address...<br />"; $valid = false; }
#check email userpostaladdr field is not blank
if( !$userpostaladdr )
{ $errmsg .="Enter your postal address...<br />"; $valid = false; }
#check email telnum field is not blank
if( !$useraddr )
{ $errmsg .="Enter your telephone number...<br />"; $valid = false; }
#check comments field is not blank
if( !$comments )
{ $errmsg.="Enter your comments...<br />"; $valid = false; }
#check validity of email format
$useraddr = trim($useraddr);
#permitted patterns for name,domain and top-level domains
$_name = "/^[-!#$%&\'*+\\.\/0-9=?A-Z^_`{|}~]+";
$_host = "([-0-9A-Z]+\.)+";
$_tlds = "([0-9A-Z]){2,4}$/i";
if( !preg_match( $_name."@".$_host .$_tlds,$useraddr ) )
{
$errmsg.="Email address has incorrect format!<br />";
$valid=false;
}
}
#if not valid write the error message/s and repeat the form
if($valid != true)
{
echo( $errmsg.$form );
}
else
#if the form is valid send the email
{
#recipient's email address
$to = "[email protected]";
#subject of the message
$re = "Feedback from $username";
#message from the feedback form
$msg = "Feedback Info:";
$msg.= "\r\n";
$msg.= "Postal Address: ";
$msg.= $userpostaladdr;
$msg.= "\r\n";
$msg.= "Telephone Number: ";
$msg.= "\r\n";
$msg.= $telnum;
$msg.= "\r\n";
$msg.= "Comments:";
$msg.= "\r\n";
$msg.= $comments;
#set the Content-type header for HTML mail
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html;";
$headers .= "charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\r\n";
#set the From header
$headers .= "From: $useraddr \r\n";
#send the email now...
if(mail($to,$re,$msg, $headers))
{ echo("Your comments have been sent - thanks $username");}
}
?>
</body></html>

You're welcome...it might need a bit more tweaking than what I put in it. I work day in and day out with asp, so I'm a bit rusty with php (different concatination opperators in this case). I just pulled that from a site I know of and added the additional requirements.
