am in desperate mode at this moment, because I am trying to get this thing to work and it’s not working for me…
I uploaded the files and I am able to open the form.html and fill out the form and everything, but it’s simply not sending me the content of the form to me via email.. IM pulling my hair out here lol…
This is the process I took:
I unzipped the files..
Uploaded the files to a folder on the server call, “Form”..
I then, changed the permissions for the main folder and the files folder… I even applied the 777 to all the files and folder, since I was going crazy…
One thing I don’t understand is the install.php.. maybe that whats getting me… How exactly do I install? What is the purpose of this file?
Like I said, the form looks great, but it’s not sending me the contents of the form to me as I would like…
Can you please help?
Thanks guys…

For most people, and for me, it just works. The install file should be used to create SQL tables if that is how you intend to use your form. If not don't bother with this file. The install file has nothing to do with the email function anyway.
It could be a spam filter is blocking the email. The best place to start is with your server logs and your web host tech ssupport. If you still have trouble, come back and post again.

Even if you are still getting "all" of your emails, the ones from the form seem to register as a higher level of spam. Using an email address from a server other than the one which wasn't working fixed this for me. Some servers just seem to have tight spam block and you never see the emails. Then I called the email provider and asked them to turn off the spam block and I'll use my own.

Hi, I'm experiencing the same problem. Having searched all the files I unzipped I can't even find reference to the code that contains the email address I want the forms sent to. Is this a bug or am I just missing something really simple?
Can anyone post here for reference a copy of the code that contains the command for sending the email address? I'd really appreciate help with this as I'm on a tight deadline and would love to use this form maker. Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking for but here goes:
The form page is "form.html". The form page sends form data after clicking "Submit" to a file called "processor.php". This is the form data processor that does mpost of the work, including sending the email.
The line in this file that sends the email starts like this:
mail("youremail@somedomain.com","phpFormGenerator - Form submission","Form data:
Does this answer your question?

Yes, it's much clearer now thanks to your explanation. Seems the email information was not added to the form, I suspect I did not click the update email when I thought I had. Form works great, have been looking for something like this for ages. Thanks for your help.

No, i've been getting all my emails.. also tried it using another email..
Good to know I don't have to use the mysql..
I mean, it seem to be going trhough file, with the confirmation page and everything, just not getting the emails...
Then again, maybe using a free host has something to do with it, I dunno... Everything else works fine, except that...
I have the exact same problem... help please!
