Previously we look into hostmonster provided limesurvey online form generator software, a open source php software that allow you to generate online survey form automatically. Next, we are reviewing the phpFormGenerator at hostmonster simplescripts installer, which is another free tool provided here. And we performed a demo test run on this, and generated a web form via this tool. You only need to use the tool to create new form, and adding fields to the form, and generate the code for the form which you can include into your website. Simple as 1-2-3, the online web form is un running already!

Last week, there was a blog comment in this hostmosnter review, asking about the hostmonster php version information. And the poster want to find out about current php version running at hostmonster web hosting server.
From hostmonster hosting feature page, you will find out that hostmonster php is now using version 5, upgrade from the php 4. You are now using this php5 directly by default. For existing hostmonster customers, your server had been upgraded few months ago, and it should reflect the php 5 instead. From our hostmonster account, at cpanel left stat, you can see:
- Apache version 2.2.11 (Unix)
- PHP version 5.2.9
If you are new to hostmonster hosting, definately you need to check on their hosting features before signing up with them. Chosen the wrong hosting plan is the most painful experience, and require some migration work that might take your whole day of time. Selecting the right plan, does safe your life 
Luckily hostmonster is offering both php version 4 and php version 5. And my hosting with hostmonster is still using the php4, and there is no current plan to upgrade to php5. As the wordpress script that i using now is require only php 4 and above.
If you need to run some custom script etc, do check on their system requirement. And selecting the right hosting features. If you come across that require php 5, you can contact support to move your site over to php 5 server. Just email to support and request for php 5 upgrade. They will do the remaining work. Simple as that.
