Originally created as a replacement for cgiemail, Phorm has since grown and expanded to include a wide range of features, and is currently the most flexible and powerful general-purpose form processing program available.

With Phorm you can perform any of the following actions with your form data:
- Include it in an acknowledgement page for the visitor
- Send it to an email address, or a number of email addresses
- Validate it against a sophisticated set of criteria
- Include it in an autoresponder message to the visitor
- Log it to a text file
- Log it to a MySQL database

While Phorm isn't intended necessarily to be able to do everything anyone might ever possibly want to do with form data, its combination of features allows you to cover the great majority of cases.
