I have not been able to send a test submission because my form page does not load. I can't even see my source code in my browser. same thing for my thankyou.php page. Take a look for yourself.

this page has my form:
http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/programs/sc...esheet.php

this is my code:

Code:
<?php

require_once("http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/marcomm/form_tools/global/api/api.php");

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

$params = array(

  "submit_button" => "submit",

  "next_page" => "thankyou.php",

  "form_data" => $_POST,

  "finalize" => true

    );

ft_api_process_form($params);

?>

Hey Jimmy,

Yeah, it'll appear blank because your require_once() line uses a URL rather than a path. It should use a path - otherwise it'll just throw an error and stop loading the rest of the page. You can use a relative or absolute path.

Good luck!
