Online employment application

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 17.2011

Hello,

I have a client who would like to add an online employment application form to their website. Can anyone recommend a PHP script or other solution? I know a little PHP, but not enough to write something from scratch, so I’m looking for something that will work out of the box or that I can customize relatively easily to my needs.

Thanks in advance

@spotted_zebraAug 18.2011 — would the client want it in a database form or sent to them in an email?

a database is going to be much more involved but a form that submits it's data to their email wouldn't be too hard to pull off with a limited amount of skill.

first you are going to want to build the form in html and have it post to a php page. on php page you will get the information and sterilize it (you should always sterilize user input) the php has a very nice function, mailto(), and you can send an email with all the required info straight to you clients inbox.

give me a few minutes and come up with something and post back.

EDIT: Maybe more than a few minutes. Are you using wordpress or anything like that? This is getting to be a bit more than what I thought it was going to be. The script will have to sterilize every little user input and on an application that is a lot of input.

EDIT2: I got to thinking even if I did write something for you in its entirety which I would probably do because I have nothing better to do and it would be kinda fun I don't think you would be able to customize it yourself. The php is going to be long and will deal directly with the html form input fields.

I would start looking for another, more automated, solution.

Success!
