There are hundreds of registered Phorm users, and probably many hundreds or even thousands more using it who aren't registered. Here is what some have had to say about Phorm:
"These two products that you have produced are very
powerful tools. I am just amazed at all of the functionality that they
have. Simple enough for a beginner, but complex enough for the power
programmer. Thank you so much for writing these two tools. I greatly
appreciate it. Thanks again."
— Vickie
"Up until two days ago, I'd never looked at a Perl script
or ever heard of PHP. I've tried at least 10 different form processors in
the last couple of days, and I must commend you. Yours is the only one
that works for me! I had a good feeling about Phorm from the start though
– the documentation was too good for the script not to work!"
— Ted
"So far, although I am in no way an experienced script
writer or programmer, I am not having too much trouble getting through what
is really a very powerful and flexible package. All commendation to your
efforts."
— Peter
"I was waiting for a quote from one of the script writers of one script I use, for a modification to allow me to make available registration/login pages as a front end to a mailing list.
"The script writer quoted me 2-3 weeks before he could look at my requirements. So I did it myself with PHORM in 2 hours - and I have no experience of script writing or MySQL.
"When I told the script writer what I had done he was so
impressed he is now looking at PHORM with the idea of promoting it to all
his customers as a tool to help them do 'custom' front ends to suit their
needs."
— Thomas
"I wanted to thank you so much for this script. I just had
a client asking for the functionality that this script provides. You have
saved me hours and hours of banging my head against the wall and teaching
myself to do what you've already done so well. I wouldn't hesitate to
recommend Phorm to anyone who needs a quick, easy, and powerful method to
gather information from visitors over the web. Thanks again and if you
ever need a quote or testimonial, I'd be happy to do so."
— Patrick
"Well I have downloaded Phorm, installed it and played
around with it. I am very impressed - this is one of the more well-documented
and configurable form manager programs that I have found (well in fact it's
the best I have found). Especially as I am a PHP lightweight - if I can get
it running then it must be good."
— Robin
"I love Phorm! We've started to use it more and more to
"web-ify" some of our internal paperwork and, although most folks don't know
what's happening on the back-end, they certainly appreciate the result."
— Doug
"Phorm is far and away one of the best (perhaps the best) generic form processor I've come across. I've worked with dozens. After meeting up with Phorm a couple of years ago, I have never looked back at any other form engine. The program is limited only to imagination (PHP skills not required but to implement some, very basic stuff with help from the author as well as PHP sites).
"The flexibility is terrific and the more flexible a program, the more complex it first seems. After getting over that hump, it's a veritable joy to work with. I've created custom forms that would cost plenty to outsource (and have enjoyed the benefit of nice bonus checks at work for the effort). One of my favorite uses is creating forms with fully formatted preview (html multi column and or tables).
"Another favorite is the multi email capability because
it lets me create different reports for different people receiving the
form data. Cost estimate to hire out for the same set of forms, $6,000
low end bid. Phorm, $10. (And I received a *fat* xmas bonus for doing
it myself while saving the company the money.) Cost to modify outsourced
forms, $90 to $200 per hour. Phorm, $zero. I do it myself (and continue
to enjoy those xmas bonuses)."

"Great program. I've been searching for a Mysql-enabled
survey tool for a while now, and not found one with the flexibility I'm after
(which included radio buttons, select boxes, text, and integration into my
autoresponder mailing list). Phorm allowed me to do it all in about 2 hours,
including the learning curve!"
— Andrew
"Just thought I'd write a quick email to express my utter
delight with Phorm. It is truly amazing! The scope and power of this script
is boundless. I am currently developing a corporate website and Phorm has saved
me hours of scripting myself. I submit form data to a MySQL database, email an
acknowledgment, send an email to the appropriate person in the company (based
on the subject line) and use Phorm to step through a MySQL database emailing
the company newsletter to all that have signed up."
— Duncan
"I am using Phorm Jr for about a month and am happy! This
is the first time when I see the PHP script well written, well documented
and easy to use for people who don't know the language (like me). Thank you
very much!"
— Konstantin
"Your program took me light years ahead in all areas of
web programming. Best $15.00 I ever spent. I'd have gladly paid ten times
that if I'd known all that the program could do for me."
— Chuck
"I just installed Phorm, and it's great! When I started
a few hours ago, I knew absolutely ZERO about PHP, only basic HTML. But
I got my form with email results and autoresponder up and running great
in a few hours, with just a little reading on the subject (and with your
excellent documentation). Thanks so much!"
