PHPForm Generator is offered as a free add on through my web host. I've created an HTML form, which just needs to have an upload feature added. I've completed the colors, design etc., but now I don't know how to begin adding all the coding to my form (or is it the other way around...). Could someone please give me a leg up on this, as the web host does not support it, only offers it...
Thanks in advance!

First off is your host offering this free through Cpanel and Fantastico? If so you better do a lot of reading in this forum for things that are going to arise after you install.

Yikes! Cpanel & Fantastico... Yep! Is there an "easier" way to code a form so I can include the general info gathering and also include a photo upload button? Should I keep them as 2 seperate forms, on 2 different pages? The forms works now just fine in XHTML, but the upload code isn't uploading the photos...
Thanks!

Did you create these using PHPformgenerator? It sounds like you did not.. You can use this program to do what you want but it will take some time in getting used to this program and how it works and does not work. I dont know how many forms I have overwritten and lost when it didnt have to happen. If you installed through fantastico I would advise you to look at some of the early threads concerning this. You may want to keep it you may want to ditch it and install it from source. Either way it can be tweaked to work and you will be happy with it once you get it going good.
Good Luck...

good advice. new2php you should take those comments under consideration.
on another note, phpFormGenerator will create the entire form for you so you don't have to design the form separately and generate the code separately. The way it proceeds is the program wizard asks you a number of questions about your form and then it spits out some files containing your code. You are then recommended to edit the HTML file that has been generated and tweak it to give it the look and feel that you want. Its all very customizable if you use it properly.
