Q: I can submit my form but all I get is an email with "Error MYSQL Form Submission." Some kind of error reporting would be helpful.

A: The Error MYSQL email indicates that the processing software can not access the MYSQL database, this is all it knows. Check the database variables and points as listed in the MYSQL section (2 II) of the Help file. This is usually due to settings in your form variables not matching the setup of your database (remember you must set the database up before the data can be added).

Q: I am trying out the shareware version of form1 builder. Can one build a guest book with the registered version?

A: The evaluation version allows you to use all functions except the only issue sis that it is time limited (only runs for 7 days). If you use Form1 Builder MYSQL it will allow you to add any submitted from data to your MYSQL database and if you want to use that data as a guest book you can but you will need to have a way to extract/display the submitted data. Form1 Builder MYSQL allows you to save submitted data to your database but does not provide a display function (ie it does not extract database entries only submits them).

Q: After the form has been submitted, I get an email with the subject "Error MYSQL Form Submission." I'm sure that I correctly filled in all of the fields required to use the MYSQL feature of Form Builder, and I also made sure that the Field Names were exactly the same as the table fields in my database. I'm not sure what's going on?

A: This "Error" email is generated when the form data is unable to update your MYSQL database. Form data is delivered as as text variables. Make sure the the MYSQL fields are of the type text. Also if you have any auto incremented fields in your MYSQL database set them to be skipped using $mysqlfieldskip. You can also try setting up a test form with one basic input text field (remove the checkbox), give it a test and then build up from there. To assist further I will need access to your server to view your file and access your MYSQL database.
