    Pear DataObject_FormBuilder displays nothing

    I'm having problems getting the FormBuilder package to work.

    I've spent the last 3hrs reading what little documentation and
    examples I could find and the idea seems great, if only it'll actually
    display a form.

    I'm not getting any error message, and I know that my DB_DataObjects
    are working as I'm able to auto generate the classes and search them.
    However using the following code which I believe is meant to display a
    form for the 'users' table, does absolutly nothing except displayed
    <html><body></body></html>.

    I did some experimenting to see if there was something wrong with
    displaying anything, and I found that nothing would print after
    $builder->getForm() and I have no idea why :\

    CODE:
    require_once('D B/DataObject.php' );
    require_once('D B/DataObject/FormBuilder.php ');
    $config = parse_ini_file( 'example.ini', true);
    foreach($config as $class => $values) {
    $options = &PEAR::getStati cProperty($clas s, 'options');
    $options = $values;
    }
    $_DB_DATAOBJECT _FORMBUILDER['CONFIG'] =
    $config['DB_DataObject_ FormBuilder'];

    $building = DB_DataObject:: factory('users' );
    if (PEAR::isError( $building)) {
    die($building->getMessage() );
    }

    $builder = DB_DataObject_F ormBuilder::cre ate($building);
    if (PEAR::isError( $builder)) {
    die($builder->getMessage() );
    }

    $form = $builder->getForm();
    if (PEAR::isError( $form)) {
    die($form->getMessage() );
    }

    if ($form->validate()) {
    $form->process(array( &$builder,'proc essForm'), false);
    echo 'New buidler ID: '.$builder->bldg_ID;
    }

    echo $form->toHtml();

    This isn't even my code, it was an example from the makers of
    FormBuilder.
    Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

      Are you printing that exact string anywhere? Because that's what you get in
      View Source from Internet Explorer when it receives an entirely blank page;
      i.e. it doesn't show you the real, empty source, it makes up a dummy partial
      HTML document.

      Could it be that there is a fatal error, such as a parse error, aborting your
      script before it outputs _anything_, and that you have error_reporting set too
      low, and/or display_errors turned off?

          I'm not printing that exact string, I think Firefox is doing what you
          suggest IE does -> printing dummy html in replacement of a blank page.

          I know error detection is enabled as to get to that point I got through
          some 'file doesn't exist' and 'db connection' errors. I've enabled
          debugging in the config inc file but that did nothing. I don't know
          enough about FormBuilder to know where it would cause this kind of
          problem and there isn't enough tutorials or documentation to learn :(
