Great :) Please also note that if you have index.html and index.php in a folder ,apache gives priority to the index.html.

The HTML form code is found in the index.php file .it appears first because it’s name is ‘index.php’ .Apache looks for this file name ,if it’s found it loads it first.If not found it will display the whole content of the folder. I’m not sure if i answered your question ?

Greetings Hyder;

Thank You for sharing your code.

I got it to work on a local web server:
Server2go -
Apache/2.2.15 (Win32)
PHP/5.3.2
SQLite 2
MySQL 5.1.46

-NEWBIE ALERT-

QUESTION: How did you get the HTML Form to automatically display? (Can’t figure that out).

Normally when I launch the Server2go web service, the Server2go splash page appears first.

Thanks again.

-NEWBIE ALERT OVER-

Thanks. I personally don’t have access to the server that the site is hosted on. I found a WP plugin that allows you to execute PHP code within the context of a post or page. I’m wondering if that would work with this?

I’m a bit of noobie at this. I have been looking to find a WP plugin that does this. So far no luck.

If I’m able to figure it out I would like to make an html form where the user can choose check boxes of what content they would like to include in the document, they would be able to upload their own logo and then it would enter in their brand name throughout the document. Sort of like a free online legal document generator.

And then when it is done they can either download it or it will email them the document. I know this has to be possible some how but I just can’t seem to figure out how it would all work out.

Thanks again, for the tips.
