Hi, I am having trouble getting the form to work. I?d like to avoid have mailto: on my site, so I?m hoping to use the form control instead. I have no knowledge of programming php however.

I created the form object, and placed entry fields on it

Under form properties I choose the ?php form processor? and completed that section

I changed the value of the button to submit

I get the error message ?the object form 1 requires that the file you are exporting has the php extension.

I am guessing I am expected to write a php script to get this to work ? is that correct?

Help please!

No, simply give your page the .php extension and the php code will be created for you ;-)

Hi Davide, I tried this by right clicking on the page while in 'project' and renaming it, but I couldn't get it to work.

Can you make it really step by step for an absolute beginner?

Many thanks

Roy

... I meant step by step instructions - or perhaps direct me to a tutorial that covers the final rename to php step???

1- Click on a empty point of your page background
2- Press F4 and in the "Property panel" on the right choose "(Other)"
3- The "Page Properties" panel should appear
4- Choose "php" in the relative combo
5- Export your page and check it (as it is a .php page) using a PHP Web server

A great addition to your "forms" base of applications is on this site with a great forum. If you have PHP enabled on your hosting site. It's free and the forum provides all the answers.
