This project is what I've been waiting for - but I'm unclear on how to use it.
I've created the form, including a captcha and downloaded the zip file.
Having unpacked it, I loaded all the folders with subfolders and files up to my site.
I am using Joomla to create the site.
I tried to paste all the code into a new page - all the formatting is missing
I tried to call the form.html page as a link - I get the form, but the captcha image isn't there, just a placeholder, I've inserted a popup related to a checkbox - the link shows, but the popup doesn't work (it does in other forms), and the submit button does nothing.
Clearly I'm missing something. Presumably some path info is missing, but where?
What else could be causing these issues?
I'd be grateful for some help

I can help but its a bit difficult to be accurate when I can not see the form or the php code.
In general the phpFormgenerator creates a form with all file and image paths relative to the form.html file. When copying to a new location it is important to maintain the relative paths of the included files.
Pasting the form into another html page is not typically difficult if you are familiar with html and how forms are created and used. Form most cases it is just a matter of copying everything between the form tags and inserting this into your new html file. You still need to copy all the remaining files in the relative folders as they were with the original form file. Typically it is best to see the original form work first before porting the form to another html file.
Hope this helps, if not send me an email and I'll see what can be done to help you get it working.

I have the form in place and went back to edit it and got a pop up saying I did not give read+write permission, and to go back and do so. When I opened the README file, it was empty. Where do I go now?
