Re: A survey engine
We use limesurvey http://www.limesurvey.org/download at my office, takes a bit of time to set up a given survey, but seams to work for us. We have it on a stand alone system If intrested I could send a link to one of our currently active surveys.

Re: A survey engine?
I'm in Desert Code Camp right now. So far so good. Sorry I won't see you here this time. I'm out to do an internal survey on a project just finishing. - Anonymous respondents - Brief - Must be internal because of corporate policy - May grow into subsequent similar surveys but want to start simple with that growth possible. I'll look at Web_Survey as an add on to Mod_Survey. Some of the other more complex or feature rich answers are too much for this need. Start simple is my goal. Can't use the outside services. They may be privacy safe but the company deals in stuff that must stay absolutely private. By policy we don't use outside services for company business. Thanks for the comments!

Re: A survey engine?
Thanks for the replies. I had forgotten about freshmeat.net. They have several possibilities. http://freshmeat.net/search?q=survey&submit=Search I installed Mod_Survey before leaving the office. I'll look at it in more detail on Monday. Alan On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 7:00 PM, keith smith wrote: > > Sometimes thing are elusive.

Re: A survey engine?
Sometimes thing are elusive. I tried "php survey software" on Google and found some free stuff. I have no idea what any of this is or if it is of any value.
