Installed phpFormGenerator via fantastico(cpanel)
Set it up.
But what do I have to do next.
Do I have to move some files?
If so which?
Any help much appreciated/
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You simply have to run the formgenerator by activating the file process.php in your "PHP Form" directory. Make sure to run it by activating PHP-files via (a / your) PHP server. (PHP is interperter and you need an engine to drive the code) If you don't have a server and have to set up one, you can download easyphp.
This is an easy solution and runs under windows.
(Be aware that it can alter the ODBC!)
Otherwise you have to find a provider with a PHP server you can use.
After generating your forms, copy all the files you find under directory forms to the site you want to use your forms.....
Restyle your HTML file to your own housestyle, without changing fieldnames.
Hope I could "show you the road".
Goodluck,
Eric

I am not sure if I can help any further but if you want to be helped I think you need to supply more information. Eg.
When does this happen? During generating a form or when using a form.
Also what kind of a form you create?

dave... you need to make sure that "all" your files and directories under the "forms" directory are set to have read+write permissions. This includes the directory called "forms" and everything thats inside it (all subdirectories and files). The error you are getting is due to file permissions. In UNIX, you can execute the command: chmod -R 777 forms
and it will take care of this issue, but you can also go one by one through the files and directories and set their permissions individually too.

Sorry Dave for letting you down, but for several day's I was out the country for work and not able to respond. Think Musawir is right.
Also be aware of the RW-rights of your DB if you use one.

Thanks for your help so far - hopefully I am nearly there!
Do I have to move some files into a New Directory?
If so, which files.
Thanks,
Dave.

After generating your forms you have to copy the subdirectory named forms and all its contents to the "site" where you need your form.
The HTML file is your form, the PHP files the "engine". You can restyle your HTML file, but leave the fieldnames as it is.
Note: If you upload files with your form, uploaded files are received in the subdir "files" in your formsdir.

Sorry Dave I can't tell. Goes beyond my knowledge.
Maybe Ali knows more about that. He's the brainpower behind this tool.
Btw. Glad you sorted out.
