   Hello,

   I have searched now for quite some time but cannot find what I need... Here's the question:

   Is there a plugin (like a contact form plugin) that let's me produce a fancy looking form and when I press the "Submit" button in the generated form, it calls a php scrip and passes the form fields as parameters?

   Thanks a lot for your help,
   Mercator

   I do not think so, as it would be an overly complex way to do it, especially as you have to manually declare query vars in WordPress before a script can process them, and it is much easier to just pass the info through $_POST.

   Is there a particular reason you needed them passed as parameters?

   Nope, there is no reason (besides the fact that I already have those scripts and would need no change to them). Alternatively, A nice form generator, which allows me to add PHP code that is executed upon completion, would do as well.

   Thoughts?

   I personally like my own form mailer plugin ;) available at dagondesign.com

   You could modify the code to execute anything you like if you are familiar with PHP.

   Actually, that is a neat idea... Modified the plugin and now it does what I want. I should post it as a new plugin :)

   Dragon Design: I modified about a dozen lines (inc comment) and it works as follows:
   If the "Success Page" starts with ***PHP***, I treat the rest as code and execute it at the appropriate position. That's it. I think this would be a great addition to your plugin. Please, let me know if you want the code.

   THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!
