    I just installed phpformgenerator on a machine with win xp pro as the os, and running apache server.  When I enter the number of fields in Step 1 and submit, I get the error, "You did not enter a valid number. Please use a number between 1 and 99."

      This is an Apache setup issue related to the pt_register function in the global.inc.php file.  Your configuration is probably limiting the passing of global variables. 

      Do you have any <Limit> or <LimitExcept> directives active in the httpd.conf file?

      No <Limit> or <LimitExcept> directives are set... I have put this on a local system so I can test it out being putting it on a live system.  btw.. I am new to Apache too... switching from IIS.

      I use UniServer3_2a on my test system with default settings and forms work just fine. 
      I'd send you the config file but SourceForge doesn't handle large amounts of text in the email or attachments. 
      Try browsing the httpd.conf file and look for options that look like they might block GET, or POST, or global variables.  I haven't had time to look for specific options that control this yet.

      Any ideas on this? I'm having the same problem on step 2. I'm running apache 1.3 with php 4.3.11 on Mac OS 10.4 (BSD UNIX based). Permissions are fine (777) as far as I can tell on the phpformgenerator scripts.

      In my httpd.conf, the only Limit GET POST statements are commented out, and therefore not active. In fact, the only Lmit statements i have are commented out. I'm hitting a bit of a brick wall, especially since this is basically an uncustomized install of php and of apache.

      Any ideas?

        These problems are very difficult to diagnose or solve through this forum alone.  Since there are 100's if not 1000's of successfull installs, these issues are primarly setup of server issues.  If you would like me to test your install or your form you will have to find a way to zip up your directory tree and send it to me.
