Creating
a Basic Form
This short little article will explain
how to create your basic html form
and name your text field to identify
it to the PHP processing page.
Processing
Form Data with PHP
Here we explain how to take the text
field you made above, and convert
it to php for processing. Also explaining
how to set up the functions to send
you an email with the information
given within that text field
Sending
Confirmation Email
Once your users submit the form and
you are sent an email, you may want
to also send your user an email confirming
the information, along with
other useful information you want
them to have.
Creating
a Thank You Message for Your Form
Once your visitor submits the contact
form, and we set up the php to send
results to your email and also provide
them with a confirmation message,
we need to notify them that the information
was sent successfully. This
will show you how to add html to the
php page and display a message to
them.
Saving
Form Information to File
Many times you will want to use your
form to store data to a simple .txt
file, rather than having to set up
a database. This article will
explain how to process your form to
text file using PHP.
Making
a Simple Send to Friend Script
Send to friend scripts are nothing
more than a standard contact form,
but there is a twist. We will
show you how to capture the url of
the current page, and send it along
with your message to your friend.
