Contact Form

If you have PHP on the server do something like the following for your contact form:

<form action="form.php" method="post">

Then create the form.php to process the post variables and email function

or seeing that your site is heavily dependant on java you might want to create a java vaildation and email processing function.
 
Code: 
<form action="#" method="POST>
   <input type="text" name="field1">
   <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

you mean javascript obviously. cant really send email with javascript.

and client vs server side validation isn't an OR decision, it's an AND

Yes I do mean javascript.

Also for sending email with javascript http://phpjs.org/functions/mail/

Google 'javascript sendmail' and there are many ways to do it.

HTML and PHP works just fine with much less lines

Agree with you, PHP is my choice, javascript just too much effort :)

Link was just to show one of the posters that it is possible

you know that wont work in a browser right?

there are not many ways to do it...... you can do it in this awesome way though

Code: 
var url = "mailto:[email protected]?Subject=my%20subject&Body=my%20body";
window.location = url;

doing it in nodejs, on the server side doesnt count....
 
Ok Ive done the following,

Code on site.

<form>
<form method="post" action="contactengine.php">
<input type="text" class="col-md-6 col-xs-12 name" name='name' placeholder='Name'/>
<input type="text" class="col-md-6 col-xs-12 Email" name='Email' placeholder='Email'/>
<input type="text" class="col-md-12 col-xs-12 Subject" name='Subject' placeholder='Subject'/>
<textarea type="text" class="col-md-12 col-xs-12 Message" name='Message' placeholder='Message'></textarea>
<div class="cBtn col-xs-12">
<ul>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="submit-button" />

</ul>
</div>
</form>

And then Code in the contactengine.php file

<?php

$EmailFrom = "[email protected]";
$EmailTo = "[email protected]";
$Subject = "Move Your Ass Website";
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));
$Tel = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Tel']));
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email']));
$Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Subject']));
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message']));

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Tel: ";
$Body .= $Tel;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Subject: ";
$Body .= $Subject;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contactthanks.php\">";
}
else{
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
}
?>
