im new at this . obvious or i wouldnt be here :)
anyway.
im trying to link to my form and it works fine.
meme.com/forms/forms/form1.html(not real site)
the only problem im having is the people can change the address to meme.com/forms/forms/
and see everything and change it if they feel like it. and also they can access meme.com/forms/
which gives them access to the start page for phpforms so here they can delete my form and add new one.
so i then tried to password protect meme.com/forms
and that did prevent them from entering this part. but when i click on the link from the site to fill out the form. it wont let them and askes for a password.
im at a lost what do i do.
?
do i move all the form file into the same folder has my webpage. (off course changing the location of the form files in the php to make it work.)?
or is there another way.
i hope i explained myself well enough.
any explanation would be greatly appreciated.
and if you know of any links where it explains this that would be fine also.
thanks again.
Oh and i spent a couple hours making a form on my page maker only to find out about phpformgen after finishing the other. tried phpformgen and it took no more then 10 minutes lol.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
perfect that worked out good.
at first it wasnt working because i put it in root.
but tried to put it in my public_html with my web site and it worked. thanks again.
and nice on the keep most people out.
so is there a more advanced way of protecting.
this will do for now. but if you have a link on a more secure way i would like to read it.
thanks again for the super quick response.

Extra security involves modifying php and form1.html files so it's not something that most users are prepared for. The methods are discussed in many web sites if you search on "web form security", "php security".

I always password protect the
http://www.website.com/forms/
folder so people can not access the form generator.
After creating a form
http://www.website.com/forms/use/formname
I immediately move it to
http://www.website.com/myforms/formname1
http://www.website.com/myforms/formname2
etc...
I then immediately password protect the folder
http://www.website.com/myforms/formname1/admin
so that people can not access any form admin page.
This creates a basic level of protection that keeps most people out of sensitive stuff.
