Wordpress form handle


samoht

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

Not sure if there are any wordpress users out there - but I am frustrated with all the wp form plugins saving data to the db in serialized arrays!

I would like to just code my own form and create a custom table to store all the form data like I want.

 

Does anyone one know how to do this??

 

wordpress forums are generally lame - and this would be a php question

This is how the majority of data, especially plugins & options within wordpress are stored.

 

I'm not sure what plugins you have looked at but for forms I believe that the following are the best.

This is not a free plugin, however it is supposed to be the best:

In my opinion Wordpress is a great system for the end user. For the developer it is a mess of spaghetti legacy code, global variables and garbage functions. The majority of it is really bad PHP.
