Hi,
I just downloaded this tool and gave it a try.
I first wanted to strongly encourage this project's team, as it corresponds to a wide array of needs, and should have a bright future if kept modular and simple. I intend to use it for database apps.
I feel the following features would be nice to have:
- an option for turning off the "Email form data to" and URL input
- (a very tough one) a button for returning to the first form after generating a form
More importantly, I see database tables' management needs can be (nearly) standardized with the following kinds of forms:
- one for creating records (the one you actually generate).
- one for searching existing records (entry of search criteria, generating a query).
- one for displaying matching records (list type) based on the previous form's user input. It would also enable user to select a record he/she wants to delete.
- one for modifying a record (very similar to the first one, except that fields are already filled in. Users could link to it after clicking on one of the records in the list form, fields would then display the selected record.
I also particularly appreciate the way one can link form field names with database field names. In a future release, could you display an existing table's structure, so as to ease field selection when building up the form, instead of asking user to enter the number of fields beforehand? This last feature may be seen as an interface with phpMyAdmin.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Very nice points made. Just to remind you, there is only one member on the team :D The next release will try to make all those options you pointed out, atleast the first two.
Thanks

Great work this Generator - Concratulations and RESPECT-CREDITS
One freature which could be helpfull also is:
after generating a form with all the files, that the Generator is ziping it together, and send the zipfile to a given emailadress, than more people could use one Generator together. after sending the zip, the Generator must undo the changes of course.
