Your system was very easy to set up and I already found helpful posts here to protect the directory in which my phpform sits. Thanks for such clear instructions!
Question:
When I receive the results from people posting through the form on my site, I receive it in raw html . I then have to cut and paste that message and place it into a text editor, then view it via the 'launch webpage' feature in that text editor in order to be able to read it. A tad complicated!
The reason for the complications? I am vision impaired, (not blind but very very near sighted).
I am hoping there is a way of formatting the results within the process.php or another file in the phpform setup that I haven't yet discovered -- so messages sent me via the form are readable immediately?
Warning: You are dealing with an utter PHP newbie here so expect a lot of "Huh?" I understand basic html coding etc but PHP is a whole new world.

I will be more than happy to assist you with whatever improvements you need based on your vision impairment.
One thing you might check, if your emails are displayed "raw" is that your email program can and is displaying rendered html.
If you still need help please do the following:
Forward one of your example emails to me so I can see what you see. Describe to me what you would prefer to see. Send me a copy of your process.php file and I will make the necessary adjustments.

Hi I have the same problem with receiving in raw HTML. The form is for an application for employment & it goes directly to my HR person, who knows nothing about HTML. I can convert for her, but if I'm not here, she can't read the replies. If there is a change I can make to the process.php file, can you send it to me? Or I can send you the file if you prefer. She is using Office 2003, and I have been through the settings, of course it CAN show in rendered HTML, but the email is SENT as plain text & the option to view it otherwise is greyed out. Please assist, thanks, Dawn Merrill

send as html by adding the following:
on the line prior to
$message = stripslashes($message);
add this code
$header = "From: phpFormGenerator\r\n" .
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n" ;
then change this line
mail("youremail","Form Submitted at your website",$message,"From:
phpFormGenerator");
to this line
mail("youremail","Form Submitted at your website",$message,$header);
TNTEverett, that's perfect, thanks so much!
