Contact forms are very useful when implemented on websites, because they allow visitors to post their comments or to request other information from you. Practically, the content of a HTML form will be processed by a server side script and sent to your inbox. This method of on site communication is rapid and efficient both for you and your site visitors.

The server side script can be made in PHP, ASP, Perl or any other server side programming language. The script algorithm is the same, but the code syntax will be different. First, you must create the HTML contact form. You must save the next code as contact.html using a text editor, such as Notepad for example:

code
Name:

Email:

Phone:

Comments:
The next code must be saved as contact.php, because it will be the script that will run on server side.
