FormsPlus supports saving to MySQL compatible databases. Saving to a database is fast and efficient. All FormsPlus forms on your site can save to the same MySQL table allowing you to collect all of your form responses in one central repository.
Heads up!
When using a Database Template, all Form Element names
must only consist of lowercase alphanumeric symbols a-z and 0-9 (no underscores). Additionally, names
must start with a letter and may not contain any special characters such as commas, spaces or underscores.
FormsPlus does not support using any existing MySQL Table
that is already in use by any other software. You should provide FormsPlus with a dedicated Table
to save entries. Multiple instances of FormsPlus, however, can save entries to the same Table
.
FormsPlus will automatically add columns to your MySQL Table
as you add new Elements
to your form. This makes database management seamless and transparent. Users should not perform any manual modification of Columns
such as adding types, length or default values is not supported.
FormsPlus does not provide any functionality or tools for managing MySQL databases. Many web hosts, including Chillidog Hosting, provide a web based management tool called PHPMyAdmin.
