Actually, there is only one form -- the ulaform form. Now, there are two actions that ulaform supports after the submit button is pressed in the form:
* Send the data to somebody by e-mail (code in ulaform sends the mail)
* Put the data in a table (code in ulaform does the insert statement)

I want another action
* the posted data directly goes to a different php file (ulaform code doesn't see the data at all)

This php file is specified as form action during defining the form.

The reason I need this is actually because I want a form that is not an interface to a database table. Here is a (simplistic) example of an app that I am trying to make: a web program to convert a length in inch to a length in mm (to make a very simple example). I could probably do it through database trigger as well, but I don't want my data to go in some database in the first place. 

The way I am thinking is, in ulaform, we will define inputs and specify the php handler that will receive the post/get data. Then we will run the form. When the submit button is pressed, the php handler will get the data, do some calculation and generate some html text, ulaform will show the html text in it's window.

OK... So I guess I can begin digging into the code to understand. Any tips on where to start?

Thanks.
