Questions answered by this recipe

How can I create a form in PmWiki to send mail?

Description

The pmform.zip Δ module provides a variety of forms processing capabilities. The module is still under development.

Documentation and examples for PmForm are being performed in a separate wiki at http://www.pmwiki.org/pmform/ . Some key pages:

PmForm:Installation
PmForm:MailForm - forms to send email

Notes

PmForm blocks directives from data being saved to pages by converting markups: thus "(:" becomes "( :" and ":)" becomes ": )". These are managed by the $PmFormPostPatterns array.

The (:template require:) directive can be used to prevent certain string combinations from appearing in posted fields. For example, to prevent someone from entering link markups, use:

   (:template require text match=-[[ errmsg="links not allowed":)

which says that the 'text' field must not contain "[[".
