Web forms are a crucial communication format between your website visitors and you.  This course will show you how to build one from scratch!   Create a fully functional dynamic web contact form that can be used on any website to collect messages from visitors.  Lets your web visitors send you email messages.   This form comes complete with several layers of security checks to ensure spam and unwanted emails are not valid.   

Form is HTML5 so depending on the input type HTML5 will check for validity.

The course covers multiple approaches to form development, and the code is flexible enough to be updated and used for a more specific projects.

Not bad, I was looking for a contact form that was seperate to the index.php form but have modified my code to suit. Just hope it works, it remains to be seen.

L'istruttore dà per scontato molte cose: installazione ambiente di sviluppo, come creare file e non mette i link degli strumenti, me li devo cercare io.

By Rob Benenato on 2/18/2019

Very helpful! I now have a much better understanding of how to add PHP into a web form, which was the one area I struggled with before taking this course.

By Trevor Willems on 11/24/2018

I'm not understanding how you got localhost to interact with Brackets - how you started building your code and how it refreshes as localhost... if that makes sense...

By Martin Antonetty on 7/30/2018

I Thank you very much for sharing your Knowledge, Professor Laurence Svekis Thumbs up to you I recommend your course to anyone :)

Great course got many of errors had to rewatch them many times, but great teacher I tend to get errors need to stop and rewatch until its errorless

By Diana Kado on 1/12/2018

The course is broken down in to 15+ steps, but sometimes the onscreen visuals of the coding editor are not up long enough to really follow along without having to rewind. The code is given in a document at the end, but without knowing php, it is hard to understand what each line of code is doing or how to customize the php code.

By Keith Austin on 10/6/2017

Very Clear instruction - Easy to follow Even if you are not familiar with PHP, this course is easy to understand. The final product works well in the real world. While testing on my own site and inserting the PHP and the form content to my existing page, changing it to an extension of PHP (From HTML) it just works. Far better and easier than the included files in the templates I use. It would be great if we can send the emails formatted as HTML rather than plain text.

By U. Jonathan on 9/22/2017

Really enjoyed the course although I'm new to php. Would have appreciated if other input types were included such as checkbox or radio buttons or selection box

By Henry Dennis on 5/18/2017
