FORM TOOLS

Data Management

Form Tools is a powerful, flexible, free and open source PHP/MySQL script you install on your website for managing your forms and data.

Create new forms or process your own.

Forms come in all shapes and sizes. You can use Form Tools to house the data from your own forms, create private forms for use by specific users only, or create forms right on your website - all with no programming knowledge needed.

Form Types

Plug n' play modules.

Form Tools offers a range of extra functionality through optional modules, letting you tailor your installation for your own project requirements. And if the module doesn't already exist, you can always write your own!

Customizable user accounts.

Create as many accounts as you need. Accounts can be set up to show exactly which forms, and form fields you want the user to see. Control read and write privileges, what data export options are available, and much more.

Visualize and Export.

Form Tools is much more than just a data gatherer. It lets you visualize your form submission data through the Data Visualization module and provides a simple way to export your data for use in whatever other applications you need.

Localize Form Tools.

With over 50 translations available, using Form Tools in your language is as simple as selecting it from within the Form Tools interface. Each account can have their own language setting.

Translations

And yup, there's an API.

An API is available for people wishing to do a deep integration with Form Tools. The API provides ways to submit form data via code rather than form POSTs, helper functions for things like maintaining sessions, displaying captchas, and much more.
