    Great easy to use form, and I don't necessarily think the problem is with the form itself since this is the second form generator I tried and both times I'm not receiving emails.  I tried 2 different email address to send to and both have not shown up.  Is there something I have to enable through my web hosting to be able to send emails? 
    I guess I don't understand how this form sends an email through the website hosting server so I really have no idea where to start root causing.

      i wonder if there is has been resolved ? i'm encountering the same issue -- i do not know how to ask my website hosting folks.
      i installed joomla and email works from there maybe because there is an entry to enter smtphost, other smtp values ... but for this phpformgenerator, i'm not finding admin to setup
      --
      i looked into the php.ini in the root directory of phpformgenerator and found this entry:
      ====
      [mail function]
      ; For Win32 only.
      SMTP = localhost
      smtp_port = 25

      ; For Win32 only.
      ;sendmail_from = me@example.com

      ; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
      ;sendmail_path =
      ====
      i tried adding line smtphost = myemailserverhost
      but it did not work.
      ---
      any thoughts out there to what variable to look/update ?
      big thanks in advance.

        Create this file "test.php" filling in your email address:

        <?php
        mail("your_email@your_url.com","php mail function","Test PHP Email Function");
        ?>

        Point your browser to it and see if you get the email. 
        If you do then there is something wrong with your processor.php file.  If you don't get it, notify your host tech support and point them to this file and ask them why it does not work.
