OK, I'm no expert, but let me see if I have this right:
1. Install the latest version (currently phpFormGen-php-2.09b.tar.gz).
2. Install as per instruction found on this site. Don't forget to set the permissions (CHMOD)!
3. Create your form using a unique name.
4. Using your FTP client (SmartFTP is great), cPanel File Manager, etc, you will see that a new directory has been made: /phpform/use/yourform
5. The actual form is called 'form1.html'. I don't think you can change this name.
5. All you have to do is copy/move the directory 'yourform' to where you want it, or reference your form page to /phpform/use/yourform/form1.html
6. The next form you create must be called something else (unless you moved the previous directory) and the new form will be saved in /phpform/use/newform
7. Remember, copy/move the entire directory, including all the files inside, otherwise the form will not work.
Hopefully, the next version will allow us to edit a form made previously!

The form1.html file can be changed to whatever filename you want, it doesn't matter. However, the process.php should not be renamed since the html file calls the process.php file.

The form1 file in /forms works fine. However, when I link the /use/myformname/form1 it does not work. I get my form, but when I submit I get a 500 Internal Server Error. Any suggestions?
