Scheme on Fig. 1 will help you to understand the way data
streams are processed by Form Processor Pro 4.1 the purpose and place of
mentioned in this help configuration files and templates as well.
So this is the way Form Processor Pro manages simple form:
-
Initialization.

Form Processor Pro 4.1 initializes itself, loads
Basic Configuration File with its preferences.
-
Input Data Processing.
Initially, Form Processor Pro looks in the submitted data whether it contains
basic variables to be overwritten, principally base_path. Afterward, it
processes Local
Form Configuration File to load the rules for further data processing.
Submitted data is checked for compliance with
form field types and generates detailed error message if check fails or
incompliant data.
Submitted data is parsed as to field types rules (trim spaces etc.), processed
calculations and function calls. Data becomes parsed and processed.
-
Output Processing.
According to variables and their values set in
Local Form Configuration File processed data result is either output to
web browser or sent by e-mail and written down to log file or both.
