Connecting form to database breaks the form

Fireflight 17 Oct, 2011
I've created a new form with chronoforms v4 RC2. Everything works well until I try to create a database connection to save the form data. Whenever I try to submit the form when the database connection is active, the form loads a blank page (even the source is empty).

I've tried creating 2 databases to connect to, but neither works. I'm using the advanced wizard edit to setup the database connection.

Is there a step that I've missed?

Hi Fireflight,

You probably have a dash '-' (or some other special character) in one of your input names. Dashes give ChronoForms and MySQL problems. Please rename the input using only [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9] or underscore '_'. No dashes, spaces or other special characters.

I did have dashes sprinkled throughout the form. I've removed them from the name, value, and id attributes, and the form still won't submit if it's connected to a table.

Hi Fireflight,

You need to change the corresponding column names too?? (it may be quicker to create a new table).
