Here is a tutorial I threw together quickly on how to code a simple PHP contact form for your website - thought it would be useful since most websites contain something like this.

contact.html

Code:

<form method="POST" action="process.php"> <input type="text" name="name" size="19" placeholder="Name"><br> <br> <input type="text" name="email" size="19" placeholder="Email"><br> <br> <textarea rows="9" name="message" cols="30" placeholder="Message"></textarea> <br> <br> <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"> </form>

process.php

Code:

<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $to = "slim@thug.pw"; // your email for receiving submissions $subject = "You have a new submission"; // subject of the emails sent to you $name_field = $_POST['name']; // process name $email_field = $_POST['email']; // process email $message = $_POST['message']; // process message $body = "<strong>From:<strong> $name_field\n <strong>E-Mail:</strong> $email_field\n <strong>Message:<strong>\n $message"; // message format as it will be sent to you echo "Thank you for your submission! "; // success message mail($to, $subject, $body); } else { echo "There was an error, please try again!"; // error message } ?>

There you go, a fully-functional PHP contact form. Now you can go back and style the contact.html page to your liking.

Pretty useful indeed, thank you for sharing. I'm interested in advancing far in PHP to be honest.
