registration form with unique number generation

  • Hi I have been wading through the hundreds of form plugins to try and find what I am looking for (Preferably for free but it’s more important that it does what I’m looking for)

    I’m looking for a form plugin which allows users to register simple details:
    Name (Optional)
    Email address (Required)
    Telephone (Optional)
    Submit

    When the submit button is hit the form logs the details to a database, generate and display a unique random five digit number, display links to PDF documents and finally email the lot back to the new user.

    If the same user returns they are emailed the same details. May need to password protect something like that.

    Has anyone managed to create something like like this with a forms plugin or is there something more specific I should be looking for?

    Many thanks

    So I have had a look at a lot more form plugins. So far I have not found one that will auto respond with a unique five digit number.

    I think I am going to find what I am looking for in a support ticket type plugin or an event ticket plugin.

    Anyone seen anything like this?

    Still not found what I am looking for although I did receive a very useful email which suggested adding some php code to the functions section of the page and then calling the variable to a text field.

    This is a good solution but does not tackle the issue of duplicates which will eventually happen

    A possible solution to this is read the numbers I need from a database of pre generated numbers and add data back to the record reserving the number.

    Is there a good forms plugin which reads and writes to a separate database?
