    I have never used Formm@ailer php by Dan Ball with NOF's form handler. This
    could be your problem.

    So how have you made your forms? By the looks of the tutorial at
    www.suwebs.com/html/formmailer.html it appears that it should at least be
    possible to do it with NOF.

    My understanding is that you have to upload this to your ISP server and run
    it from there - not your local hard drive unless you have a local php server
    set up on it.

    some ISP require the php to be in the root with the index.html

    in which case your form action should be
    http://www.word1inc.com/formmailer.php and the script needs to be placed in
    the root

    other ISP block any script that uses the word form as part of its name

    I always rename my scripts to something like contact.php etc

    It is. Michael Evangelista's tutorial shows how to make a simple form
    without the NOF "Form Handler" component. So the form validation occurs
    through the formmailer php not NOF. Does that make sense?

    Also, I used WS_ftp to upload the formmailer script and html pages to a
    contact folder on my remote server. In some versions, NOF treated php
    scripts like Perl scripts and published them to a cgi-bin. So to avoid this
    hassle I kept the formmailer away from NOF.

    Default Help with Forms . . . PLEASE!

    I've created a form, and I'm trying to use Formmailer as the php script. It
    does nothing, though, when I press the submit button. I've tried to follow
    the directions as closely as possible, as well as the directions at
    www.suwebs.com/html/formmailer.html, but still nothing. My guess is it's
    something with the anti-spam measures, but I really don't have a clue.

    You can see the form at
    http://www.word1inc.com/Temporary/Fo...st_sample.html

    Thanks for any help,
    Matt

    When I run the thing from my hard drive the browser goes to a page of output
    from the PHP code that says "You are missing the ".$req_check[$i]." field"
    and "You are missing the ".$email_check[$i]." field or it is not a valid
    email address."

    But I have those required lines set like this . . .

    $required_fields[0]="";
    $required_email_fields[0]="";

    . . . because I'm using NOF to do the validation stuff.
