For more up to date ones (*all* options have descriptions and there's lots of example code), use the FB wiki: http://opensource.21st.de/tiki-index.php?page=DB_DataObject_FormBuilder > I print_r'ed the DO, and sure enough the select_display_field and fieldLabels are right > there where they're supposed to be.

The Frontend that you downloaded may be old, I haven't updated the tarball in a while. If youre selects aren't showing up, are you sure that you set up the paths correctly? Well, you probably did...it's probably an old Frontend. If you still want it, I can throw together a new "realease". > Anyway, I would *really really* like to use this package.

We are working on it, we're just like most PEAR developers...we have limited time. If you have ideas or patches, we'd love to hear about them. Or if you'd like to write a tutorial or some more docs. ;-) -- paperCrane --Justin Patrin--
