Q: I downloaded the trial and copied the code from form builder goldmine. I'm using an existing form. i put the hidden field <DataStart> in there, but the email it generates is not in goldmine format with [Instructions] [ContSupp] etc., it simply prints out the field names=values in order. any clues guys?

A: The GolMine Use variable must be set to true ie $gmuse ="true"; for a GoldMine email to be delivered. Details on this are provided in the GoldMine section of the Help file and also in the online help file available at https://bizpep.com/form1/ .

Q: I created 3 files form1.html, form1.php and form1process.php. I uploaded them into my server. When you open the form you cannot submit it. There is a error message. What did I do wrong ??

A: If you look at the source code of your page your form action is corrupted ie the < has been changed to < and the > has been changed to > as in this line <form action= "<?php if(!isset($_SERVER)){$_SERVER= $HTTP_SERVER_VARS; }echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" name="Form1">. Therefore when the form is submitted it does not know where to go to ie what action to take. This problem is usually caused by editing the form with a web editor ie Frontpage etc when it has php code in it (web editors can destroy php code), you should only use a text editor. Also if you are using a single form file you do not need all the 3 files you simply add the processing code to your form file (using the Builder or a text editor) so when it submits it calls itself. If you want to call a separate form processing code then you need to set the form action to point to the processing file in your case form1process.php. I suggest you build a quick form initially so you can understand how it fits together and then work up from there. Full instructions are in the Help file.
