Long time no update. I know, I know..
We’ve launched an opensource project to help you generate web forms for the live collection/insertion of data in any standard or custom Salesforce.com object.
Although Salesforce.com Sites will soon be in Developer Preview, we thought that some Salesforce.com customers could find it useful.
Check the project website for details at Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/sfdc-web2anything/

Very cool. Are you associated/affiliated with Model Metrics in Chicago? They had a web2anything app and couldn’t sell it. Maybe the open-source version will work better?
Thank you David, glad you find it useful. We’re not associated with Model Metrics, this is an opensource project based on NuSoap – http://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/
We are currently considering the Model Metrics Web2Anything App. How does this one compare (except for price)? Have you used it already in your org? Thanks for the update!
Hi Chad, unfortunately I never used the app from Model Metrics, so I wouldn’t be able to tell you the differences between the two. This is an opensource project, not supported, which we initially put together as a POC. It’s fully functional and supports attachments.
this looks useful – and I always love free. I’m going to give it a try.
Let me know how it goes Bee, or if you have any problems with it.
this is awesome – thanks so much!!
my form submits fine and creates a record in salesforce, but doesn’t jump to the retURL specified when debug is off. any clues why?
thanks again!
@blee: not sure why it’s not redirecting you — Try this: open the HTML form file and make sure the value of the hidden field with name “retURL” contains the “http://” bit, e.g.:
Please let me know if this helps.
noticed this when turning error reporting on in w2x-engine.php
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /mylocation/engine/php_sforce_nusoap/salesforce.php:555) in /mylocation/engine/w2x-engine.php on line 126
“http://” is there.
thanks again!
UPDATE
fixed this by removing whitespace in the salesforce.php file @ lines 554-555.
Hi there
Just stumbled on this while doing a bit of research.
Nothing as advanced as this, but I just wanted to let folks know I have made a Wordpress plugin available which integrates a contact form on a Wordpress website with the SalesForce Web-2-Lead function:

This is awesome! Incredibly powerful and simple to implement. Very nice work.
Hey there,
I’ve been making great use out of this project, it’s been a real life saver for my organization.
I’ve been able to make a few code modifications along the way (I capture the salesforce ID generated back to my mysql database, and I’ve added in some default workflow-style handling of any error codes I’ve gotten so far).
I notice that the engine code does have functions for update/delete etc, but that they aren’t ever referenced, I was wondering if you have/know of any code that uses those features. (Or if I just overlooked something.)
