I'm trying to use the php form generator to create a file upload form for a site I'm working on. I keep getting this error...
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@bunabeacon.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.41 Server at www.bunabeacon.net Port 80
WHY IS IT NOT WORKING?? I ended up going with this form generator because I couldn't get the php scripting to work when adding image upload box to the form I have already created.
Maybe I've been looking at it too long and am missing something quite obvious.. Can someone please help me before I lose my mind? :)
Thanks

This is usually due to a file permission error. When you point your browser to the form the URL is something like this http://yoursite.com/form/form.html
When you click on submit the URL is something like this http://yoursite.com/form/process.php
The Internal Server Error or 404 error is usually due to a security setting that does not allow PHP files to be executed (displayed in a broser) when the file permissions are "not what is expected".
Try chaning the file permissions to 755 and see what you get. You might also ask your web host's tech support if the file and folder permissions and ownership are set properly.

I'm not sure what you mean by uploading. If you mean installing the form on your site it is the same as installing any other page on your site. There is one difference in that you have to copy folders and files but the process is the same.
When you have the form zip file, unzip it into your site folder then using some form of ftp program copy the files and folders to your site.
Getting the for to fit into another html page is more involved but if you have, and are familiar with, a good HTML editor you should be able to get this done without to much trouble.
The form.html file has some pieces in the <head> tag that need to be copied.
<!-- calendar stuff -->
<!-- END calendar stuff -->
<!-- expand/collapse function -->
<!-- expand/collapse function -->
<!-- validate -->
<!-- end validate -->
You must also add the options in the <body> tag.
<body onLoad="collapseAll()">
Then you can copy the entire section between <body> and </body> into the section you wish to have the form on any other page.
