Fantastico's Phpformgenerator

[Mission]

I just installed phpFormGenerator for people wanting to join my email list. I have customized the colors and all to match my site for the html that the program generated.

 

But I was wondering -- I was planning to include the html in my regular sign-up page for my email list. But if I do that, I'm concerned that the form won't work since all the php files & code is in a special folder in my web space.

 

For the phpFormGenerator to function properly, do I need to place my page in the same folder/directory where the application's other files reside (the php code and such), and link to the page there then? Or is there special script that refers to the form1.html (will including form1's html in another web page make the script inoperable)?

 

I have already looked for javascripts to do what I wanted with the email sign-up, but could find none that were suitable (I searched all of the well-known free javascript sites).

Simplest way to find out is to try it. I generate my own scripts and form processors so I couldn't honestly say. But as long as the form links to the proper place it should work.

I guess I was trying to avoid royally messing up my site. We'll see how it works out.

Well, it didn't work. Not even when I put the page into the same folder. I had to use a script to call the form page up as a popup. I'll just have to include a line on the other page that tells them to turn off the popup blocker for signing up to my email list.

You could also use an email list script like Dadamail or PhpList

Thanks, Don. I just checked out Dadamail & had looked at phpList before installing the phpformgenerator. I wanted something on my site that would gather the email addresses w/o subscribers having to send me an email, or having to leave my site. I already have a program through which I can design and send out the emails and newsletters. That program will even manage the email lists, but I haven't set up my mail server to do that. I just wanted something simple on my site that also looked like it was part of my site, to collect the sign-ups -- before GlobalScape discontinued handling CuteSite Builder forms through their server.
