   While it is often useful to have some redundancy in data collection - I have a circumstance where sensitive data is collected and would be better not to store large amounts of it in the database once it's passed off in an e-mail.

   What I'm saying is, would it be possible to 'skip the database' when collecting results in certain forms? (In my case - not storing form info in a database for all forms would be acceptable too - just not as slick.)

   Thanks!!

   Yes, that is possible. Do you need to 'skip the database' for all your forms or just certain form?

   Hi - this would be quite interesting to me as well. In my case, while the database storing works just fine on my dev server, my web host has not yet configured MySQL on the production server, and I'm concerned that it won't be ready in time for our rollout.

   So, in my case, would there be a means to switch off the database storage for all forms, then switch it on when the database is set up?

   Thanks very much.

   Switch on and off? Thats a magic feature I never see anywhere, as this would require an export import system from filesystem to database back and forth. This would most likely never be implemented as it has no practical use in real world (as in production world).

   I might be surprised though, but I highly doubt it!

   matt -- in your case (no MySQL database being installed), I'm afraid it won't be possible to run MachForm at all. Since the database is needed to generate the form itself.

   The posting I mentioned above is meant to disable the form saving to the database only, not the entire database functionality.

   Yuniar: Is it, in fact, possible to disable the dB saving of form data and ONLY email the data?
   If so, how might one do that?

   Bob -- yes that one is possible. What version of MachForm do you use?

   Hi Yuniar:
   Here is my info
   License Information
   Customer ID 5CT52275TE445611Y
   Name Dr Robert Porter
   License Type MachForm Standard
   MachForm Version 3.4

   I need to do two things:
   #1 Code to stop insertion of form data into Machform form dB

   #2 Code to send form data to external dB such as:
   https://secureform.luxsci.com/perl/post/11096-1449-oZOh
   The target database type is
   Database Type: MySQL v5.5.x
   Database Hostname: "mysql55.web6.luxsci.com"

   I have been in mf_process_form() but cannot see where and what to change.
   Thank you for any help you can provide.
   Dr. Bob

   BTW, I would like the DB stopping and the external redirect to be conditional on the form number(s) so that not all forms are externally directed.
   Thanks,
   Bob

    Hi Bob,

    1) Yes, I can help you with the code to stop the insertion. Can you let me know the URL of your form please? The code depends on several conditions, so I need to check your form first.

    Please mail it to: customer.service [at] appnitro.com

    2) I'm afraid I won't be able to help with the complete code for this one, since this would require pretty much custom coding. I suggest to hire a PHP programmer for this part.
