deleting the program doesn't mean the database tables will also be deleted. And deleting and reinstalling the program just to reset some database tables is a bad idea in the first place. The program is decoupled from the internals of the various servers it interacts with... everything can and must be handled separately.

I'm getting some pretty weird errors as well. FormGen has always worked well on all my sites. Suddenly I'm getting error after error.
FormGen won't create a table any longer, nor will it connect to a table I've already created. I've been using the script for years with no hitches and absolutely love it. It just makes no sense that it all of a sudden won't work on any servers.
Any ideas? Is this possibly related to php upgrades on my servers?

Updating as I go along. Here's what was happening. I was testing the form I was trying to create on every server to which I have access. I was using the same form fields and db name on every server. The table name was the same, the fields in the table were the same. It continually errored out.
I began removing fields one or two at a time, and eventually removed the two that caused the problems. I have no idea why, but if I have a field named group or a field named purpose it errors out. If I change the name to grou and pur it errors out. If I change the names to type and reason, it works.
Don't ask me, I just work here.
Hope that helps somebody...

thats it! now we're ready to generate your form. if you encounter any errors, please make sure that you provided the correct database information (if any), and please maintain that everything is case sensitive. also remember to give read+write permissions to the forms directory (located under the phpformgen directory). thank you.
Now verifying MySQL database access information (some test data will be entered into the database table)...
Could not access MySQL database with information provided.
Before getting this I used to get other error codes. Here it gives me no clues. Who has a suggestion?

"Could not create MySQL database table. Maybe a table of the same name already exists?"
but I just deleted the program, and tried to reinstall it... it doesn't exist.
what do I do?

thats because those words are MySQL keywords. Keywords cannot be used as variables, as they are already defined and used by the database system.
Warning: mysql_connect(): Unknown MySQL Server Host 'http' (0) in /home/dpzzxdah/public_html/phpform/process3.php on line 288
What am I doing wrong here?
