Great job on this generator.. I love it. Just teaching myself PHP, and this has made a world of difference.
Only question is, I am trying various ways of "prettying up" the output emails generated by the forms and I am not having any luck... Did not see that question anywhere in here... Any help is appreciated.
For example, to simply assign a background color, make font changes or to include an image (like Stationary) how would one do this?

since the email is only sent to the admin, I didn't feel that it was important to customize the look and feel of the email. It it just meant to transport the form data to the admin whenever the form is filled out. If it were being sent to a user however, the beautification of the email might have been necessary. So therefore you are really on your own with this... if you know php, it really shouldn't be very hard to do. You would have to change the header of the email from plain txt to HTML, and then basically create an HTML format email. If you would like this done for you, you can order a customization service request at http://phpformgen.sourceforge.net and look at the "Services" section.

I'm clear on the part about how to manipulate the actual data, Jessie.. The issue is, how to turn the plain text email that is generated to one that has a fancy background, image embedded, standardized title etc.

Thank you for your assistance. I'll take a gander being the sole purpose is to learn PHP.
the email is generated when you see $message =
Then you see a bunch of these....
name: $name
yourmom: $yourmom
biteme: $biteme
The first one is the title, the second one is the value. You need that value. Good luck.
