Creating Forms with WordPress

    I want to create a quotation form. The visitor fills in one or two details, and the form goes off, calculates a result, and then displays a result and forwards information by email.

    Any obvious place to start? The forms plugins seem inadequate to the task, and I can find nothing obviously relevant in the documentation.

    Thank you.

    I had already checked that it looked good and mentioned allowing Ajax (I’ll learn anything), but there is nothing that I have found in the documentation to suggest that or how it actually might be used.

    I suppose I am asking how to integrate within WP a system where a form is created (easy-ish) which transmits the information collect to an external/internal php script which does the various calculations (easy) and returns the resulting values to a page within a wordpress system? It is possibly the last bit which is the real issue.

    I am tearing my hair out when trying to find my way around the WP documentation.

    I do appreciate that I have to do nearly all of this myself, but a pointer to somewhere which explains the basics would give me something to go on.

    I’m wary to recommend much as I’m not sure how much testing/investigating/coding you will need to do to make it work, but will take a chance and suggest you look at:
