Contact Form

Post by wmyatt »

I am obviously doing something wrong because with the Contact Form. It's in place and I followed the directions on making selections. Here is a link to the file

The page extension should be set to PHP.

I manually put one in there, changed the main page extension from HTML to PHP and the errors went away, and it goes to the success page; however, I don't get any responses in my email box. It also seems like the page loads up slower when this form is used.

There shouldn't be any slower loading of the page when using a form. It may be down to the use of the galleries used as each ones uses jQuery or javascript it they may be slowing the page load.

I think simply changing it from "email" to "e-mail" fixed it. I am still very new to Web Design, but does PHP work just like HTML? Is there any disadvantages / advantages other than it allows you to use the contact form?

PHP code is executed on the serve and converted into HTML when sent to the browser.
Without PHP the form cannot be processed by the server.
