forms page not working

[Lisa A]

I have a site that I ftp to the server, because I have a php script on it.
But now my forms page won't work because I don't have fp extensions.
How can I use both?
thanks,
Lisa A

Lisa, I have tons of php and java on my web, and publish with FP. Just don't
let FP remove the items when you publish. I don't usually have any problems.
To be sure, you could FTP a copy of the other files down, then publish. If
you lost anything, ftp the php files back up.

You could find a php script that can process the form i.e. place the data in
a database (mysql for example) or email it to you. Or you could install the
server extensions through your hosting account control panel (providing your
host offers this as one of the options - eg through cPanel or similar.

If you did get the server extensions functioning and wanted to use PHP, then
you'd simply publish the PHP through FP http: mode as normal, I presume,
unless you have to chmod the files, which I think through FP is not
possible, perhaps you can publish through FP http: and then connect via an
external FTP prog and CHMOD the PHP files if necessary. As long as you
don't transfer any files to the server by FTP, it should be OK.
