PHP(PHP Contact form)>>
It is not a good idea to place a contact
email in your web. Someone may use a robot to find your email and send
spam. Instead, it is recommended to use a contact form.
You will
find bellow a copy and paste contact form. You just need to copy the code
to a file named contact_form.php, change emails in red, and place it in
your site. Them add a link to the contact form in your regular
pages.

Lines 1-6: Just page title and
headings
Lines 8-17: php
code
Line
9: Text introduced by user is saved to variable $text.
Line 10: email is saved to variable
$email. By using strtolower,
we will get the email in lower case.
Line 11: It is checked whether email is
correct (simple checking). The command strpos
is used to check position of "@" and "." within $email. If position is
"0", $email is not correct and email information is removed (is set to
"").
Line 12: If value of $email
or $text is not null, lines 13 to 15 are executed. If not, the form in
lines 20-25 is displayed.
Line
13: A new variable named is created which contects the email value
and text of user. The code "\n\n" means we are separating email and text
with two line breaks.
Line 14:
The command mail is
used to send email.
Line 15: A
"Thanks you" message is shown.
Lines 20-25: If message is not send (for
example when getting to the page from a link), the form is displayed.
Line
23: In case a user has introduced a message in the textbox, but has
forgotten to include email, as $email="", mail is not send to webmaster,
and the form is displayed. In this case, the code "<? print $text;
?>" is used to include the message in the textbox.
