I wanted to thank you for this excellent application. I do have one question however that seems to have me stumped. I am created a registration form to register both individuals and groups. I am trying to get the form to link to the proper page where the user can fill it out and submit it. I set it up with 3 pages. The first page asks if it is a group or individual, the second page hads input for individuals to fill out, and the third page has fields for groups to fill out. The closest I've gotten to getting this to work is to rename the buttons for page 2 and 3 and cutting and pasting them with the radio buttons on the 1st page. this whacks the form out, and i am perplexed on how to fix this. I am a novice at php, and its been awhile since I"ve done any html work.
Any asistance is greatly appreciated.

There are many ways. Here are 3.
1.) In a single page you can have a javascript "continue" button which will open and close different sections of a single html page. When you reach the last "continue" the section displayed will not display another "continue" button but will display a "submit" button. This is easy and works well with VERY simple pages that load really fast.
2.) Using teh same method as the phpFormgenerator you can use one php form page to submit to a second php page that will decide what to do based on the previous page. All new any prior data is then submitted to a final page.
3.) Using Dynamic HTML you can have the page refresh and display new data as soon as any one trigger entry has been updated.
The possibilities are endless. This is just a small sample of methods.

Thanks for the quick reply! I was hoping that after the user makes the choice of registering a single person or group that they would go to the appropriate page, and could submit their info from there. I don't see how to do that with the way it is laid out. The form creates a button for page 2, and page 3, but trying to rename the buttons and just choosing one of them seems to lead to unexpected results. I will keep playing with it to see if I can get it going. If I am missing the obvious, please let me know.
This really is a cool application, and you are to be commended on it!
