samoht Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnoTheDev Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 but I am frustrated with all the wp form plugins saving data to the db in serialized arrays! 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. http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-plugin/ This is not a free plugin, however it is supposed to be the best: http://www.gravityforms.com/ 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.
