Need help making a simple contact form functional

[brandin]

Using this contact form, I need help with the PHP to make it work. I've tried using several other contact form templates and changing it to make it work with this form, without success. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out. Thanks..

What PHP code are you using?

I don't have any PHP at the moment, as I've deleted the template I had a few days ago, as it wasn't working anyway.

The template only decides what the form looks like, not how it works. You need some PHP code to send the mail. Either PHP, or some other server-side language.

 

W3Schools has a section about sending mail with PHP here: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ref_mail.asp You should already underatand PHP forms, superglobals and other features.

i see that you got it to work! Goodjob

 

you can use :

header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
exit;

intead of

echo "Thank you for contacting us! Please use your browser's back button to return to the previous page."; 

so the user gets redirected automaticly .
