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.

Q: If someone fails to complete a required field they are brought to a button for them to click to return to the form. The problem is that when it returns to the form all the data that had been input is lost and the user has to start all over again.... an infuriating task, while just pressing the back button would have retained previously input data. How do I make that button return them to the form without losing previously entered data?

A: You can insert some code into your form to maintain form content until it is sent. See the Maintaining Form Content section (4) in the help file for details. This has the benefit that it will work with all browsers, all the time, as opposed to some browsers some of the time. Alternatively if you wish to use the browser back button method then you can set up your own message pages and tell the user to click the browser back button.

Q: I have been attempting to use the try out of your Form1. I am able to generate a form, install it on our server, but all I am getting is a "Your form has not been delivered." I downloaded and ran the php test and that worked fine. Any ideas?

A: If you are using a windows server you may need to set the smtp variable. Refer to the Server Settings, SMTP Server Setting section (2.II.x.a) of the help file. Also check the trouble shooting section of the Help file. If you still have problems you can email me your form as an email attachment and let me know the url of your form on your server and I will have a look for you.
