zero_ZX Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hi, So I would like my users create their own forms using my website. Other users of the website can then fill out the form. I was thinking about how to do this, and came up with some examples, first one is probably the most easy one, simply to have a table in the db called forms, containing, who owns it, if it's active etc. Then have one called form_elements that contained and element id, what assigned form, and what type of element is (drop-down, checkbox, textarea etc.) Then for each form created i create a <form-name>_answers that contain all the submissions for a particular form. I dunno if this is a good idea, I don't think it's used much, but very unsure. The second looks like the second, except that instead of all forms having their own answer table, i have a single answer table, and just store the entire response in an array. Any advice, suggestions, or ideas are greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 What would be the point of having users actually create a form? Why not have a form already there, and allow users to edit the form (add input fields etc.)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero_ZX Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 One user creates a form for a specific demand and other users fill it. User2 might need the users to answer different questions. So he needs another form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 The way you have described makes sense to me. Why don't you try it and see how it goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
