Arclab® Web Form Builder
Create Single and Multi-Page Web Forms and Upload the Forms to Your Website
With Arclab® Web Form Builder, both single-page and multi-page forms can be created. The PHP web forms created by the program can be executed directly on your own website, so that there are no additional costs for hosting the forms. Another advantage of this is that no data is passed on to third parties. Web Form Builder is a visual web form editor for Windows PC, with which it is possible to create PHP forms without programming knowledge. The created PHP forms can be run on any website that supports PHP. The program is available in different versions and can be used by beginners as well as web professionals and enterprise users.
Single-Page Web Forms
With a single-page web form, all input fields are arranged on
one form page. The program provides a large number of input elements
for this. These include e.g. input fields for email addresses, input
fields for postcode, drop-down list fields, radio buttons or numeric
input fields.
A signature field, fields for file upload and elements
for PayPal® payments are also available.
A classic example
of a one-page web form is a contact form in which the user input
is sent to a specified email address. A "Submit" button is used
to submit the web form. When the user clicks on the button, the
entered form data is sent to the website and processed there. Following
the processing, the "Success Page" (see below) is displayed or the
browser is optionally redirected to another webpage.
Multi-Page Web Forms
If a web form contains a large number of input fields, it
is advisable to distribute them over several form pages in order
to distribute the input fields as clearly and user-friendly
as possible. The layout and design of the web form can be freely
designed and adapted to your needs, so that the form can be
seamlessly integrated into your existing web page.
An
example of this would be an order form in which the user and
address data are requested on the first page, while the item
selection or payment takes place on the second page of the form.
Web Form Builder can also be used to create very extensive forms
with many form pages. The user can switch between the pages
using navigation buttons, which are inserted in most forms at
the bottom of the form pages.
The first page contains a "Next Page" button, the intermediate
pages a "Previous Page" and "Next Page" button, while the last
page contains a "Previous Page" and a "Submit" button. This
allows you to design a sequence of pages which the user can
fill out one after the other.
Since the form pages are
dynamically inserted into the host page, the page switching
takes place without the host page having to be reloaded. Clicking
on the "Submit" button on the last form page triggers the data
transfer and all form data will be submitted to the website.
When switching between the form pages, there is no data transfer
to the website and no cookies are set in the user's browser.
After the form data has been submitted to the website and processed,
the "Success Page" is displayed (see below).
Data Processing and Success Page
After the form data has been submitted, it is processed by
the PHP script. The script can perform various tasks, such as
sending an email, sending a confirmation message to the user,
entering the data in a MySQL database or executing user-defined
PHP code. You can create a whole sequence of tasks in the program
that are to be executed. In addition, you can define conditions
which must be met for the respective task.
After all
tasks have been performed by the script, the "Success Page"
is displayed. This page is used to inform the user that the
data transfer was successful. You can design this page as you
wish. It is also possible to redirect the user to another webpage
instead.
You can fully evaluate the program using our
test version. The test version contains
all features, but brands the form pages with "Test-Version".
You can download and test the software
as long as you want on your own website (no registration required).
