So I have a client that has a request to add a form to her site that will take user input, do some data manipulation, and then produce a report. Very simple to do from a PHP / HTML perspective.
However, her site is a WP site and I'd like to add this capability to it as a plugin as opposed to a non-WP solution floating about her site. Can someone provide me with some direction on how to accomplish such a simple task in the WP framework? I've looked at what feels like 30+ guides, but I'm unable to determine how to go about effectively creating a static page with a form, take the data for manipultation, and then displaying a result.
Any direction is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
