    I've noticed that a lot of users are not using the generated forms properly, which might cause significant security risks. The most important thing to note is that if your form contains a file upload field, you must *disable* execution rights on the "files" directory of the concerned form. If you do not do so, then anyone can upload and execute malicious code on your server which might compromise the security of your web hosting account and in some cases the entire server (if the server is poorly configured and administered).

      In reference to file uploads - is there any way to have the files go to a named directory?  i.e. Artists instead of files?

      Also is there a post or doc someplace that tells how to make multiple page forms, or is it not possible to do in the form gen?

      Thank You,
      Betty

        With some PHP knowledge any modifications are possible. 
        Again, any modification is possible but the generator will not produce multi-page forms.

          thank you for the reply on multiple page forms, that alone will lessen my frustration level in thinking it was just me.

          As far as the basic php knowledge and modifications, I'm out of luck there as well.  Regardless of how many php sites I visit and tutorials I read, I'm still lost.

          Again, thank you for the reply.

      the next version of phpFormGenerator, v3.0, will have multi-page capability. Unfortunately, I cannot say when this new version will be released. However, it is at around the 50% mark of the development stage.
