Hi, I am a new user of php form generator (just discovered it) and looking for specific step-by-step instructions regarding what files to upload to my website. While it is an easy easy program to build a form, I have spent hours trying to find documentation on the integration of the form onto my website on iPage.
PHP Form Generator is installed on my server. I created a test form and download the zipped file to my PC. I unzipped the file which extracts into several files and folders. What folders and/or files must be uploaded to my server? and what is the destination path where i should keep the uploaded folders and files on my server?
I am trying to include a registration form on my site that i am building for my college alumni from Jamaica. I use weebly site builder and i know how to imbed html code on a page (even tho I am still learning).
Thanks for any help to ease my frustration or point me to the specific instructions.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It has been quite a while since I got a support request for
phpFormGenerator but lets see what you have and I should be able to help.
What version are you using?
Do you have a completed form?
Have you installed in on your site?
Integration is going to be up to you as to how you want to use it.
You can just provide a link from you page to the form or you can cut and
paste from the form into one of your own pages.
Let me know how you want to proceed.

WOW! it is not often to get a response from 'The Expert'. I am so elated that I am beside myself. Thanks for volunteering to help. This may sound a little winded but please permit me.
Back ground:
I do not have experience in web application so it may be adding to my ignorance on integration. After almost 50 years of being in existence my Alma mater in Jamaica did not have a supporting alumni so we finally decided to start one, hence the need for a website. Subsequently, after some research, I decided to use Weebly on iPage and discovered afterwards that there was no function for membership registration or log in.
After extensive research I came to learn of php Form Generator so I installed 2.09.c on my hosting site (link: http://www.ctcalumniinc.org/phpForm). Further research lead me to a site (forgot what it was) and I was able to quickly build a form and was impressed. I downloaded the form (zip file) to my PC, however, I was not sure how to integrate it on my site. I know that I could embed htlm code on a page so that is what i tried (the page link is : http://www.ctcalumniinc.org/contact-us.html). Now I do not know where the data goes when it is filled in.
Not knowing how the form is operating and not receiving much of a help from iPage, I decided to return to this link: http://www.ctcalumniinc.org/phpForm and create another form (appearance looked quite different) then download it (zip file) to my dropbox.. (I will try to attach the zip file as I notice that this blog has attachment function). This new form is not installed on my site and so I have spent days trying to find step by step documentation to integrate my form(s). I like your suggestion that I could use a link from my page to the form, but I would like to know how to do both (link and cut&paste). I do have google drive and dropbox accounts.
Finally (and I am sorry for the lengthy explanation, Jamaicans always like to talk), my aim is to have alumni members sign up and the data store in a file (whether in the cloud or on my ste) as long as I have access to it. My site server side has /phpForms folder with subfolders forms, templates & use (each having files and other sub-folders).
I truly appreciate your time and expertise. Best wishes to your efforts in helping people like me. I cant wait to hear from you. I will now attempt to attach the zip file.
Hi TNT',while I continued my research over the weekend, I was able to advance the 'ball'. I have copied my new form to my server root/phpForms/forms/form336862/*, launched it successfully, changed the permissions on sub folder /forms to 777 but receiving 'access denied' error message after I fill in the data and hit the submit button...
Any ideas/suggestions? I will also continue to research until I hear from you.
Thanks
Mike
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
OK lets start with basics of a generated form.
The form is generated with the following most basic files:
form.html
processor.php
There may also be some of the following (some are version dependent):
style.css
monofont.ttf
CaptchaSecurityImages.php
imgs/
files/
calendar/
The form function is contained within the first two files but if you
take all the files from the generated form folder "./forms/form336862/*"
you should just be able to copy them to your site and point your browser
to the form.html files and it should work.
I see you integrated the form into your contact page but what is missing
is the form action variable is empty. In your generated form.html you
should have seen something like this:
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="processor.php">
Your contact page has this:
<form id="form_823219" class="appnitro" method="post" action="">
Try changing action="" to action="processor.php" and make sure the
processor.php file from your generated form is located in the same place
as the contact page.
Another suggestion:
Uniformserver is free and runs on a Windows PC. It has a real easy web
server you can start and stop that will allow you to test your pages
first before copying them to your live site.
http://www.uniformserver.com/
There are others. I just happen to be partial to this one.
The generator should be loaded so you can generate forms but NEVER leave
it on your live site after you are done. In fact if you use
Uniformserver you can run the generator locally this way you never have
the generator on your live site.
