hello guys hehaho;

i am now going to tell you how to create a contact form using php and html and i want to say that some of you may know how to create in other way some of you may not know how to create this so thats why i want to write .

i am using the same contact form on my website by the way i dont think it is advanced but its ok cooll;

first you need to create the php file so open your favorite text editor and add these php codes inside

Code: Select all

<?php

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject']; 
$msg = $_POST['message']; 


$from = 'From: ' . $email; 

$message = <<<EOD

Hey Shim, Looks Like You Have a Contact <br />
<hr />
<br />

Name: $name
Email: $email
Subject of Inquiry: $subject

<br />

Message: <br />
$msg
<br />
<hr />

EOD;

mail('admin@example.com', $subject, $message, $from) or die("There was an error!"); 

echo 'Thanks for Contacting Us, We Will Get Back to Your Shortly!';

?>

now this is

Code: Select all

$name = $_POST['name'];

the name field and this is

Code: Select all

$email = $_POST['email'];

the email field and this is

Code: Select all

$subject = $_POST['subject'];

the subject field and this is the message field :ugeek:

Code: Select all

$msg = $_POST['message'];

this declares the $form variable and assign it the value of 'from: ' and the email

Code: Select all

$from = 'From: ' . $email;

this EOD helps us to use formatted HTML In PHP

Code: Select all

$message = <<<EOD

Hey Shim, Looks Like You Have a Contact <br />
<hr />
<br />

Name: $name
Email: $email
Subject of Inquiry: $subject

<br />

Message: <br />
$msg
<br />
<hr />

EOD;

this constructors the function mail()

Code: Select all

mail('Your Email Here', $subject, $message, $from) or die("There was an error!");

replace admin@example.com with your email address
replace shim with your name

this echo a server response

Code: Select all

echo 'Thanks for Contacting Us, We Will Get Back to Your Shortly!';

now save the file as send.php and now if you want to put the form in your contact form of your website open the html file in your notepad and find a place to have the contact form visible and add this codes

Code: Select all

	<form action="send.php" method="post">
	
    <input id="sender" type="text" placeholder="Name" name="name" /><br /><br />

    <input id="email" type="text" placeholder="Email" name="email" /><br /><br />
	
    <input id="subject" type="text" placeholder="Subject" name="subject" /><br /><br />

    <textarea id="contact-content" placeholder="Your enquiries" name="message"></textarea><br /><br />
   
    <input id="consubmit" type="submit" name="consubmit" value="Send" /><br /><br />
	
	</form>
	

the form action ="send.php" and the method "post" means the forms uses send.php for action and post :geek:

now save your html page and to test it you need to upload the files to your host ;)

thanks for reading and i hope this is helpful and again sorry for my bad english if anything bad or else 'do nothing :lol:
