Q: Hi, my host provider is turning off PHP's allow_url_fopen option and I see in the code we are using fopen...will this software be affected by turning off the allow_url_fopen function? Is there an alternative to fopen that we can use?

A: fopen is used in the file attachment component of Form1 processing. If you are not using file attachments everything should run as required. If you are using file attachments then the processing code will not be able to access / read the attachment file. There is no alternative way to access the attached file.

Q: My form will require many entries. Can the form be customized to have more than one entry per line? Can larger reply boxes be used? How?

A: You can set the form layout any way you like. This can be done using standard web html software to build a form (ie FrontPage, DreamWeaver etc) or modifying the code directly in the Form1 Builder text box or a text editor. The form is completely adjustable. There are numerous tutorials on form building available on the web, for an overview and links to other tutorials try https://bizpep.com/formcode.html .

Q: I have a website with a cgi script. the system works with the exception of the auto responder. When the message is received from the cgi server the return address is the address of the cgi-bin. therefore the auto responder cannot work. My goal is the have the auto responder reply to the sender and alert me by forwarding the message to my cellular phone which receives text messages. Can your Form1 Builder help me accomplish this.

A: Yes, if you set Defined Name and Email fields in the Form1 Builder and your form these will be used as the From Name/Email Address in the delivered email and as the delivery address for the inbuilt or server auto responder (ie I simply replied to your form submission to send this email). You can give it a test using our test form at http:// bizpep.com/Form1Try.php and then use Form1 Builder http:// bizpep.com/form1/ to add a Form to your server (it is available free for 7 day evaluation).

Q: I want to change the font and would like the form to email to come up much tighter. At the moment it is using over a page to print out. I would be grateful for any suggestions.

A: If you are delivering your emails as plain text you can remove the default line break using the Line Break Off variable. For details see the Line Break Off section (2 II 4 d) of the Help file. If you are using send as html the email is displayed in table format using the default settings of your system. You can always adjust the text size displayed using Text Size adjust. From your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox etc) go View, Text Size.

Q: I am trying the trial formbuilder software and am having problems getting the simple quickform to work. I have successfully uploaded the file but keep getting the below message after clicking "submit". "Form Delivery Error Your form has not been delivered. Please use the Return to Form Button above to return to the form and resubmit." Any help would be much appreciated as I am working on a few sites at the moment and I am keen to use your software.

A: If you are running on a windows server you may need to set the SMPT Server settings. For details see the Server Settings section (2 II x) of the Help file. This is also outlined in the Trouble Shooting section (5) of the Help file. If you still have difficulty send me a copy of your form as an email attachment and I can investigate further.

Q: I added file attachment for MS Word to my form and tested it out. I receive the file but when I open it I receive an error message "The document name or path is not valid"

A: Depending on the email client you are using you may need to save it before you can open it. So instead of Open use Save and then Open from the saved file.
