The Contact Form is an essential element for almost every website. The contact us form<\/b> allows visitors to communicate with the site owner from the website. Using the contact us form, visitors can easily submit their queries, views, opinions, and suggestions to the site administrator about the website, service, or product. Also, the submitted information can be sent to the site owner or administrator via email.<\/p>\n
Contact form<\/b> helps you receive queries from visitors and provide a quick response to them. The thought of a contact form is very simple; the user is able to send their query via email to the respective organization. In this tutorial, we\u2019ll show you how to create a simple contact form with PHP<\/b> and integrate it into your website. Using our PHP contact form script, you\u2019ll be able to add a contact us form to your website within 5 minutes. The contact form not only submits, but also sends an email to you on every form submission using PHP.<\/p>\nPHP Contact Form with Email<\/h2>\n
In this example script, we will build a contact form with email functionality using PHP. For better understanding, we will divide the PHP contact form script into two parts: the HTML form and the submission code. You can place this code together on the web page where you want to display the contact us form widget.<\/p>\n
Contact Form HTML:<\/u><\/b> At the top of the contact form, display the form submission status message with PHP.<\/p>\n Contact Form Submission with PHP:<\/u><\/b> Note:<\/span> Place this code at the top of the web page before the HTML form code.<\/p>\n
\nCreate an HTML form with some input elements (Name, Email, Subject, and Message).<\/p>\n\n
type=\"submit\"<\/code> element to provide a submit button in the form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
