I’m sure the problem is me but here’s what’s going on. Just before uploading I keep getting Java screen alerts…Odd form element names. So I am changing names…too many times. I upload anyway and on the form page it says Fatal error…cannot use for reading in /home/shybucks/public_html/work/form.php on line 245.
I guess you mean a web page with an ‘required element names do not
match’ alert on it… if this is the case it is because you have names
entered in the ‘required values’ field for the PHP easiForm action
inspector that do not exist on your form, check these names as they
need to match exactly to the names you used on your form, if more than
one they need to be separated with a comma. If you have several
elements on your form and you wanted the elements named ‘name’ and
‘company’ to be required fields then you need to enter these in the
‘Required values’ field as ‘name,company’ (without quotes). Not
‘Name,company’ or ‘name,Company’ or ‘names,company’… they names must
match exactly!
Hope this helps.

thanks Mike…but I can’t seem to fix this. The name field is called name. I’ve put “name” into the text field and into the value field of the output settings. In the general setting title I’ve put “name” which lf course added a 1.
So this does not seem to help. Could you be more specific?
Also so when viewed on line I cannot type into the text fields. I’ve made them by using the form text field element and on top of that I’ve added my own GIF element. These are then grouped then I’ve added your easiform element action to my GIF.
I’ve done this in various ways and can’t seem to get them to work.
The captcha element does not seem to want to stay put. It moves when I view the form page on line.
Hi Todd, if you follow the tutorial you shouldn’t have any problems
getting it to work, basically it is very straightforward.
I am not sure I follow what you describe so maybe you can send me a
copy of your FW site without the resources, just the FW site file and
I will take a look.

I seem to have found the problem. I changed the form page to html and viewed in preview. This displayed some text above the page that basicaly said the php files were not in the root folder of the public html/.
I had uploaded previously but it seems it was not complete. I re uploaded and voila…
You are obviously doing something wrong, the text you seen in preview
is just the php code that you will see in preview as I explained in my
last post, being in preview mode in Freeway will tell you nothing as
that php text will be seen regardless of the problem, the only message
on the page that means anything is that when uploaded to the server or
parsed by php… follow the tutorial step by step and all will be fine.
