Questions & Answers

Q: I've downloaded the form builder software. I am checking out the free download before purchasing. I'm trying to set up a

form and I'm getting an error: "No input file specified."

A: Is the error occurring when you use the Form1 Builder or when you use a form. Make sure your system is suitable to run the software ie current browser with java script enabled and that your server supports php. It is usually best to build a simple QuickForm first and build up from there. If you let me know a little more about what you have done and when you receive this error I will be able to assist further.

Q: I maintain my company website and order form page using our own secure website. I would like to have an automatic confirmation email sent to a client placing his or her order at the time they click the submit button. At this time I manually replied to clients looking for a confirmation. Is there a way to implement an automatic confirmation email?

A: You can use the AutoResponse function in Form1 Builder. This will send an email to the form submitter when the submit button is clicked and the form is sent for processing. Full details are available in the AutoResponder section of the Help file or online at https://bizpep.com/form1/ .

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.
