    I have been using this form generator successfully for sometime. One of the sites I am tyring to use it on is with Earthlink. It doesn't work and the insist I change the extension on all files to php4, which I had to open each one and resave. Now the index.php comes up but there aren't any boxes to fill out to continue. Tech help at Earthlink has been worthless in helping me. Any suggestions?

      Using the php4 file extension is a method of uniquely identifying a file as being PHP Version 4 compatible.  This assumes of course that the server supports PHP4.  In most cases this should not be an issue with the form generator.  I can not think of anything that is specific to only certain versions of PHP. 
      One problem you may have overlooked is that when you change the name of any file you must open every file that has a reference to the old file name and change it to the new file name. 
      One thing you can do to avoid issues with the generator is to generate forms on another server and then just move the new form to the server or host where you want to run the form (be aware of the requirement to manually create MySQL dbs on the new server).
