I have got a very complicated form and I’m thinking about sending this form to clients email as a pdf/csv due to lucidity. Client after filling this form will receive a pdf (or csv) on its email account.
OK, theoretically:
1. Create new table in database
2. Create php form where names of fields are field in new table (formitbuilder) ?
… then, I don’t know how to save – read – convert - send data from db ? (Sure, there are formsave, formit2db and back, but that’s not my case, isn’t it?)
Or, should I somehow avoid to database? There’s no need to save data into db – just create file and send it away…
Hit me, please, with some theory.
Thank you. Peter

Hello Gissirob,
thank you for quick reaction. Frankly, I don't mind the price - but learning / studying something brand new (strange) is unlucky for me ... Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer PHP developing... Thank you for your time. Peter.

you could also use mxformbuilder, it makes 1. creating the form easy and 2. saves every submission of the form automatically into a database, from there it's quite easy to generate a csv file or whatever you like...
If you decide to try it like this, i could post the csvexport snippet I'm using!
