Re: not-too-expensive online survey creation tool

Hi Monica,

The Dept of Human Resources is using a customized version of phpESP
(http://phpesp.sourceforge.net/) maintained by myself. It's
PHP/MySQL/Apache. We have it running on a Windows server and IIS (which
took some work).

Customizations I've made include URL token-authenticated surveys
(authentication is transparent to the respondent), functionality that
reminds respondents if they haven't responded to the email invitation to
take the survey after X days.

We currently use this for Employee Entrance, Exit and Transfer surveys.
We are about to launch a campus-wide survey on AB205 Domestic Partner
compliance.

There are some people at UCB who have patched phpESP to include question
forking among other things.

Feel free to get in touch if you have questions about phpESP.
