Hi I have used PHP in the past to make forms, but I never got to test if they worked. I will get to test them once I get my site on a real server, but I really don't want to spend weeks fixing them if they dont work. Is there a free program out there that makes sequre forms? Sort of like wordpress only just for forms?

There's no such thing as a secure form. To the best of my knowledge, no such program exists (free or otherwise). Regardless, i'd never use a program to automate the creation of anything PHP (and only programs i've made for generating HTML).

If you need to test your forms, why not download php/apache so you can test them on your own machine? There are a few good programs that auto-install everything you need in a sticky in the php section...

By secure I just ment have things like strip tags etc.

I have wamp, but it tells me

[b]Warning[/b]:  mail() [[url="http://localhost/Final/function.mail"]function.mail[/url]]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in [b]D:\wamp\www\Final\contact.php[/b] on line [b]98[/b]

It says in the book I am reading that sometimes it only works on a real server..... I don't know maybe I will have to spend weeks fixing it if it donesnt work once I get it up on my site. The other problem I am having is styling the forms. I can get them so they generally look good, but not so the line up where the boxes are all vertically and horiztonally good looking... Does any of this make sense to anyone?
