Hello all,

I'm looking for a Form Mailer solution to accomplish the following:
  • Send an HTML e-mail that prints entered values in a table
  • Redirect user to a succesful page if it passes existing form validation
  • Form Mailer should support SMTP (explained below)

The web box is on a workgroup on a different subnet other then the exchange server which is on the domain, so I need an SMTP mailer to validate using web access. (ex: mail.site.com)

This is a wordpress blog, so PHP has been installed on my server.

Thanks!

Your request might seem simple, but honestly finding something pre-written in PHP that supports all your requirements is not easy to find. Especially SMTP support. I did find one powerful script that seems to do it all:

PHP Form Wizard ($28.00)

I saw support for SMTP, customized result pages and validation support in addition to other cool features based on the FAQ page.

Download the demo and see if it does what you want before buying. I could not find a freeware alternative that does everything you asked, but wait for a few more replies here as I admit I've not used scripts like this in years (I customize my own forms and validation on a given project, plus the only class I've had to install was a mailer class that supports SMTP).
