API method giving - "Form Tools hasn't received a successful test submission yet."

Hi,
I am a newbie and tried following the same steps using the external option and api. The direct/post method works great while adding form,but gives the same message when trying to use api
" Form Tools hasn't received a successful test submission yet."

I am trying to run on localhost using XAMPP.

Code:
<?php

/**********************************/

//Added for FormTools Testing

require_once("../FormTools/formtools/global/api/api.php");

//$fields = ft_api_init_form_page("", "test");

  $fields = ft_api_init_form_page(12, "initialize");

  print_r($fields);

$params = array(

  "submit_button" => "questionadd",

  "next_page" => "Thanks.php",

  "form_data" => $_POST,

  "finalize" => true

    );

ft_api_process_form($params);

?>

      &nbsp;

      <input id="searchkeywordbutton" type="button" value="Search" onclick="performSearch();"/>

        </form>

Below is my Thanks.php i.e my thank you page.

Code:
<?php

require_once("../FormTools/formtools/global/api/api.php");

$fields = ft_api_init_form_page();

print_r($fields);

ft_api_clear_form_sessions();

echo Thanks;

?>

I have tried and followed every step possible as given in documentation multiple times, going no where. I am surprised its working when I used
post/direct .

Any suggestions would be of great help to me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ben,

It would be a great help to me if the above problem could be solved.I also tried many times again.
Now my form page takes me to thank you page. And when I try to use refresh page button in form tools it says Test Submission not successful yet.

I am not knowing what to do as I followed the formtools tutorial step by step many times.

Thanks
