Questions & Answers

Q: I am looking for a form. The forms purpose is to allow for an online employment application. Form users will input basic information at the main page, then based on the input (such as job applying for) will be redirected to another page to fill in the remaining portions of their application. They should also have the ability to upload files such as resumes and other files they feel are related to the application.

A: Form1 Builder https://bizpep.com/form1/ will provide all this functionality except redirect based on input. You could achieve this by having separate forms for different variables with each form having its specific redirect ie a link to 1 form for 1 type of job and this form having its own redirect page and a different form with it's own redirect page for a different job. Another approach would be to add additional processing script to the form submission process to redirect based on the variable selected, however this would required additional development work.

Q: I am getting an error telling me that my trial of Form1 is out of date, and I need to register my software. Can you tell me the cost of registration, and how I go about doing so.

A: The Form1 version you are using is no longer current. You will need to use our Form1 Builder to build processing code and then this can be used to replace the processing code currently used. You can learn more about Form1 builder at https://bizpep.com/form1/ and obtain registration at https://bizpep.com/form1/ A single user/domain license is US$39.00.

Q: I am in an urgent need to set up an email order form. I used the online form builder. That worked all the way thru using View Form and filling it in. But, when I clicked on submit, I was led to a page and told there was a problem. The last message said "The page cannot be displayed". Is the online version to just build but not work?

A: The online version will build the form and processing code but you need to save the Form Code as a file; ie copy, paste and save it as a file using a a text editor (like NotePad); and upload it to your server so the form can be used. View Form Layout only displays the form layout and does not include the processing code, it is simply so you can see what the form will look like. Please see the Form code Section of the Help file for details. Also for your form to not expire you will need to register Form1 Builder before you build the form. Forms built with unregistered software will stop working once the evaluation period expires.

Q: Many thanks for your quick response, I've just tried it again and it appears to work fine. Shame I've just spent the last three hours rewriting my forms from yesterday to make sure they still work - dam servers!! I have a couple of other quick questions which relate to the use of the "return" code for radio and selection menus as seen on my report, I' tried to have a go yesterday but I've seem to have made a pigs ear of them. Any chance you could pass comment on the attached. I've just loaded the source viewer, thanks for another great tool and your speedy response.

A: Thanks for the feedback. Regarding your Radio Buttons they include a "CHECKED" variable ie you are forcing a specific selection. Therefore the users selection will be over written by the forced selection. Removed the "CHECKED" and they should work. The Select Option you did make a bit of a mess out of it, the format needs to be exactly as per the help file, a correct example from your form is <option <?php $name='Meeting';$value='Please Select Nene Valley Meeting';if( isset( $_SESSION['Form1'][$name])&& $_SESSION['Form1'][$name]== $value) {echo 'selected= "selected"';} ?> >Please Select Nene Valley Meeting </option>. The problem also appears to be related to an existing "selected" variable in your code and you have added this into the maintaining form content code. Also if you are going to maintain content a reset button losses its point as the form will attempt to maintain whatever input it has received and will not allow it to be reset.

Q: Can I use your software to make a form that will accept credit cards?

A: You can build any sort of for you like and have it processed using the Form1 code. Keep in mind that if you are transmitting sensitive information ie credit card details you should have the data sent via a secure server this means that the url should be https (not just http). You will need to contact your server host to determine if they support this. Also the information should not be delivered by email (it is not secure) so you should have the data directly entered into a database such as MYSQL. Form1 builder MYSQL ( https://bizpep.com/form1/ ) will allow you to do this, but you will need your host to support and provide you with access to a MYSQL database.
