works great! but i submitted the form 3 times but didn't see anything created in teh file database. It just shows the Titles for the columns[ = (is that called headers?) - eg, Name, address, email, etc.-- fields in the form]
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
make sure everything inside the forms directory has read/write permissions. If you are using Linux or Unix, switch to the 'phpforms' directory that you get when you untar the downloaded file. Then type:
chmod -R 777 forms
This will fix all the permissions and you should be able to write to the file-based database. You can also check this feature out on the demo site at: http://phpformgen.sourceforge.net/demo

ok, it's working now
only one problem:
I have a form with 8 fields. 2 fields are text areas. when I fill in more than 2 lines in the text area in the form, the table that is later generated has about 5 boxes for the single entry. the problem may be that I used my old form but pointed it to the new process.php from v.2. the text area parameters might not be identical. ie in the form, the text area might be 30x40, and in the process.php (or whereever it's processed for the table)- it might be 20x30. where could I make them the same? I can try to recreate adn get you a screen shot. I think the emails come with all the data so the size doesn't affect that.

can you just recreate the form and use the new .html and .php files? sorry if I didn't understand your problem correctly. Though I do see how using files generated during two different sessions could cause a problem.

I just did it from scratch on another site, so everything is in order but still have the same problem. Appears to be a bug. I can emai you the screen shot.
Summary:
the I have a text area field, then every time there's a return or enter, by the person filling the form, it creates a new line on the table, rather than wrapping it around into 1 field in the table.
Hope you understand :-)
