Small contact form needed for website

Maccy · 15 Jun 2011 at 16:16

I've currently put in a rather basic, and pretty terrible, PHP contact form onto my site.

I'd like something more simple and compact, and when there's an error (as in incorrect email format/empty field) an error appears next to the box, not taken to a nasty white page with black text.

The same is when a message is sent, greeted with a white page with details and a link to the homepage.

Not really sure which language is best for this, any links or input as usual cheers guys

OK I've given that a go, but I'm not quite sure how to set it up so that it sends to me? :confused:

Think I've sorted it, cheers

Right I need to set it now so that all fields are required because I keep getting people submitting blank forms to test it! Would this be done in the PHP coding?

Thanks, going to have a Google for both now!

Could somebody please test it for me? Thanks

True, it needs a fair bit of work. Will address these issues once I've worked out how - I'm very new to PHP!

Haha thanks

I need more help

I've changed it using a tutorial posted earlier and it works however the formatting is a bit kwerky!

Could someone advise me on the simple fix?

Thanks both of you. I'll bookmark that link Roy, I think it'll come in handy.
