Webforms

Hi there

I am fairly new to Drupal fast and I now need to create various Forms to allow users to submit information etc. What is the best 'Forms' module for Drupal as I haven't found the 'Webform' that reliable? Needs to be simple!!

Any ideas?

Form API

Have you looked into the Form API and how it works?

A Few Options

You have a few options:

  1. Webform
  2. Create a new content type and enable your users to create nodes, which you can then deal with en mass using Views
  3. Write a custom module

Best choice depends on what you are trying to do, and how much development you are comfortable with.

Webform

I've used the Webform module and found it really useful, I would usually recommend it. Some more detail about what you're trying to do would be helpful, though - what is it about Webform that you've found wanting? :)

Webform would be amazing

Webform would be amazing except for one major pain in the ass:
I can't change the action. I don't want it to send an email at all just process via a php script.

If somebody could tell me how to do that I could save myself literally 100's of pounds on custom development.

Webform options

Each webform node has options for sending an email or not, and also textfields for adding PHP code to do additional processing, you should be able to configure it as you need it.
