Thanks - I didn't mean to impugn Web Form Builder at all...I think it's a fabulous way to easily make great looking forms, and everyone has commented on how nice they are.
I'm just trying to make Web Form Builder do things beyond its designed use, and running into problems. Using a PHP handler to process the form, I still can't see the values in a group of checkboxes, for example...all I get is a piece of text, 'Array'. That means I probably can't make it do what I'm trying to do...which, as I said, is beyond the scope of what the program so capably does.
I think I'll keep studying the exported form's styling, because although I'm a whiz with basic HTML forms, I'm not as experienced in CSS styling. Since Web Form Builder does such a great job with that, I'll have some excellent models to work towards as I continue to hand code the PHP/MySQL part.

You could copy the form html right into your page or use the actual form page instead of using the iframe. Otherwise a little java script to get the parent redirect.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

You can try this it will take the last entry from a csv file and extract each value items 0 to N. It is a script I used for a demo
As I said this is how I like to get the values. I use a csv file in most cases which Form Builder creates and fills. You can then erase the csv or just leave it for history. Once you have your values assigned to variables you can have your way with them.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
$file_handle = fopen("Displayform/storage/csv/results.csv", "r");// the address where the file is located
while (!feof($file_handle)){
$item = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024);
if($item=="")Break;// make sure the last entry is used
$lastitem=$item;
} // close loop
fclose($file_handle);//Close temp file
// Now extract values into your variables
$data1 = $lastitem[0];
$data2= $lastitem[1];
$dataN=$lastitem[N];
?>
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);
$file_handle = fopen("Displayform/storage/csv/results.csv", "r");// the address where the file is located
while (!feof($file_handle)){
$item = fgetcsv($file_handle, 1024);
if($item=="")Break;// make sure the last entry is used
$lastitem=$item;
} // close loop
fclose($file_handle);//Close temp file
// Now extract values into your variables
$data1 = $lastitem[0];
$data2= $lastitem[1];
$dataN=$lastitem[N];
?>
