Hi, thank you very much for your response!
When I test the contact form, I get basically the same error message in all browsers and I've included the one from Firefox ...
QuoteFile not found
Firefox can't find the file at /action_page.php?
Is it because I'm testing this on my laptop? The files are not on a server yet. Also, where would I include the email address to route this to? For sure, I'm not doing this correctly. By the way, I removed the link element from the page.
Thank you again for your help!

Hi, I’ve been trying to get a functioning contact form for a website that I’m building and, thus far, I haven’t been able to accomplish this. I’ve worked on this for a few days now and read through the tutorials but I still don’t under what I’m doing. Probably because I struggle to understanding coding. The code that I’m working with is included below. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!
Here is the code that I have placed in the head of the document:
<link rel="action_page" href="action_page.php">
action_page.php code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body><?php
// define variables and set to empty values
$nameErr = $emailErr = $subjectErr = $messageErr = "";
$name = $email = $subject = $message = "";if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
if (empty($_POST["name"])) {
$nameErr = "Name is required";
} else {
$name = test_input($_POST["name"]);
// check if name only contains letters and whitespace
if (!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z-' ]*$/",$name)) {
$nameErr = "Only letters and white space allowed";
}
}
if (empty($_POST["email"])) {
$emailErr = "Email is required";
} else {
$email = test_input($_POST["email"]);
// check if e-mail address is well-formed
if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$emailErr = "Invalid email format";
}
}
if (empty($_POST["subject"])) {
$subjectErr = "Subject is required";
} else {
$subject = test_input($_POST["subject"]);
}
}
if (empty($_POST["message"])) {
$message = "Message is required";
} else {
$message = test_input($_POST["message"]);
}
?>
</body>
</html>Here is the html code for the form itself:
<form action="action_page.php" method="post" target="_blank">
<p><input class="w3-input w3-border" type="text" placeholder="Name" required name="Name"></p>
<p><input class="w3-input w3-border" type="text" placeholder="Email" required name="Email"></p>
<p><input class="w3-input w3-border" type="text" placeholder="Subject" required name="Subject"></p>
<p><input class="w3-input w3-border" type="text" placeholder="Message" required name="Message"></p>
<p><button class="w3-button w3-black" type="submit">
<i class="fa fa-paper-plane"></i> SEND MESSAGE</button>
</p>
</form>
