Zip Archive Installation

To install PHP Form to e-Mail by use of the .zip archive we offer is quite simple.

Below are screen shots of how this process works:



Once you have downloaded the .zip archive file from your client area double click on the .zip file and extract the files.



Once the .zip archive file has been opened you will see the PHP Form to e-Mail software files.

You now want to extract all the files included in the .zip to a folder on your computer.




After extracting the PHP Form to e-Mail zip file you should have the following structure (left).

(1) Upload the extracted files, preserving the file / directory structure to the public area of your web site.

Example: http://www.your-site.com/forms/

(2) Once you have all the files transfered to your server you will need to set a few file permissions:

** SET FILE PERMISSIONS ***

* 777 / Writable Permissions: /uploads/
* 777 / Writable Permissions: /templates_c/




After setting the permissions above move to the /configs/ folder where you'll set the program configuration in the file config.php file.

* License number
* MySQL Server Address
* MySQL Username
* MySQL Password
* MySQL Database Name




Save the /configs/config.php file after entering the settings above.


Now visit the URL of your installation folder + setup folder.

Example: http://www.your-site.com/php_f2e/setup/


If your MySQL information was entered correctly into the configuration file you will see the results of the setup script.

You should see a report about the database tables created and populated.

At the bottom of the MySQL setup script you will see a link to login to the administration with the default username and password.

Username: username Password: password

Once you login you will be redirected the program setup options.




Initial administration login page. Default username & password is:

username: username password: password




Once you have logged in you can set the basic PHP Form to e-Mail configuration & setup options such as:

- Administration login username & password
- How long to remember administration login for
- http:// administration program, form program and upload folder addresses.
