    Patrick Brown - 2008-08-17

    I used this application today and created my first form with it and have spent hours trying to get it to work.  The page that holds this form is www.pinkladders.com/contact.html.  FYI - I've created many forms in the past and simply pointed them to a script running on a server...CGI and PHP and have never had this kind of trouble.

    1.  I set up my form and created a folder in my root directory called "mailform".
    2.  I named my form PinkLadders, which was the name of the folder created in the directory "mailform".
    3.  I should just be able to point my form to:'mailform/use/PinkLadders/process.php'.

    I've tried it many different ways and each time I keep getting an error.  Could someone out there please offer some guidance?

    Thank you!

      You said you created PinkLadders in the mailform folder, but you reference 'mailform/use/PinkLadders/process.php' which show you created "PinkLadders" in a subfolder of "mailform" called "use". Did you create PinkLadders under "use" or under "mailform"? If your processor.php file isn't in a "use" folder, then the path should be 'mailform/PinkLadders/process.php'.

      Also, your process.php file has some extraneous code at the bottom for no apparent reason here:
      header("Refresh: 0;url=http://www.pinkladders.com/thankyou.html");
      ?><?php
      }
      ?>

      Why the extra:
      <?php
      }
      ?>

      It seems like for starters, the end of your code should appear like this (but it's purely a guess):

      header("Refresh: 0;url=http://www.pinkladders.com/thankyou.html");
      }
      ?>

      Also, you may want to provide the error you're receiving. When I attempt to submit your form, I just get an open or save dialog box for your process.php file.

      The process.php file can not be referred to directly.  It is a form processor not a web page you can view by pointing your browser to it. 
      This link exists
      http://www.pinkladders.com/mailform/use/PinkLadders/form1.html
      so your form has been created properly.  What exactly is your problem?
