Q: I'm testing out your Form1 Builder to see if its something I need, and the test form isn't sending all the information. Is this because its a test file? If that's the case then it does what I need it to do and I'll purchase it but I want to make sure that it will send all the form fields and not just random ones. When you submit the form it doesn't record all the fields. I've rebuilt the form several times and it always submits the same fields.

A: If you have the Deliver First Letter Upper Case Fields Only variable set it will only send fields that have a name starting with an upper case letter (you have a mix of upper and lower case field names in your form). You can set this as false ie $firstupper = "false"; or change to all upper case field names. Full details are included in the Deliver First Letter Upper Case Fields Only section (2 II i b) of the help file. The trail version is exactly the same as the registered version except forms built with registered software do not expire.

Q: I need to create a multipage form and do not have time to lean PHP.The form would allow my customers to select a product and then customize the product the way they want by selecting a button and then go to the next page, select the customization and then go to a shopping cart that would show what they just purchased. Can I do all this with your software? I have tried a trail version and it states that the multipage form can be done but I am a little confused as to how I would do this. Thanks for the help.

A: Yes, and you do not need to learn php, Form1 Builder can set it up for you. As long as your shopping cart can read the final posted variables you can post from form to form and finally submit to the cart. Details are provided in the Help file but basically you point the form action of the first form to the second form and so on until the last form which calls itself to send the data or the shopping cart if set up. You can see an example of a mutli page form at https://bizpep.com/multiform1.php .

Q: I receive the message Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING on line 35?

A: Your php code has been corrupted in some way, either when you entered a variable or possibly if you used a web editor instead of a text editor to edit the code. Check your variable inputs to make sure you did not accidentally delete a " or ; etc. If you used a Web Editor rebuild and edit only using the text area or a Text Editor ie NotePad.

Q: Using php's ucfirst or ucword we need to make sure that the form comes in as Joe Blow and not joe blow or JOE BLOW. Where can I implement php's ucwords?

A: You can add code just before the /*#### End User Configuration Settings line. To convert input to upper case first letters for all words add the following code $defucfirst ='FieldName'; if(isset($_POST[$defucfirst])){$_POST[$defucfirst] =ucwords(strtolower($_POST[$defucfirst]));} where FieldName is the name of the form field you you want to be processed by the uppercase first function.

Q: I have one form that processes, that returns the information to us in the email, but, I need it to go to a second form, and have the first form's information use php echo. My problem is that I can get it to work using multiform processing, but I need the first form to already post the information to us, then if the user wants to give more info in the second form, they can and process that form to us.

A: Try running 2 separate forms but linking them via the Thank You url. This way when you submit the first form the data will be sent and the user presented with the second form. If they decide not the send the second form you still have the data from the first.
