    ok, I made two forms for my website. I decided to make two different directories for the forms as I would overwrite if I didn't. Now, I don't understand how I will get these forms in my website without making a seperate page for each form and producing the whole website code around it...I am in need of serious help, please?

      what? I don't understand your question/situation. You have already created two directories: directory1 and directory2 . Go to the program and generate your form #1, once its done, copy the entire directory called *forms* inside the program directory to directory1. Then create your form #2 and do the same.

      I did all of that...but now im trying to put it in a design that I made and I have no idea how I can do this....I guess I could use the include function but since their in different directories from the main site....will it work?

      If you look at http://www.webminds3.com/~gpl/phpform/forms/form1.html

      and then you look at http://www.webminds3.com/~gpl/test.php?gpl=staffapp

      there are no differences, but when I fill out the first form ...everything goes perfectly, I get an email and everything, when I fill out the second form...it directs me to my phpform page asking me something different, I wonder if the process.php is different or something...I really need help!

      now I have both forms to be found here:
      http://www.webminds3.com/~gpl/phpform/test.php

      you can get to the pre-registration form or the staff application form, but when filled out and submitted I get 404 errors as cannot be found, or I will be sent to an admin page asking me to correct a radio drop down or something else....what do I do, I just want these two forms to email me and be sent to the admin database....If I don't use the design and just go through http://www.webminds3.com/~gpl/phpform/forms/form1.html  or http://www.webminds3.com/~gpl/phpform1/forms/form1.html
      everything works fine....but when  I try to use it through my design, I get 404 errors or like I said, the phpform admin page asking me to do certain things that are non-valuable towards the actual form. It just tells me something that I would have already done during the setup phase of these forms...please help?

      First of all, are you sure that you are copying the entire *forms* directory? Secondly, each process.php generated is for that particular form, so you cant simply use one for all of your forms! You must copy the entire forms directory and then modify the form1.html so that it looks like the rest of your site. When editing, also make sure you that you do not touch the form fields . You can move them around, and place them wherever you want to but you cannot change their names.

      Thanks,

      I just wrote the php manually, the form generator worked great but I couldn't get it to go with my design, so im done using it for now. Good job with the program though, it worked nice.
