Hi xRazz,

Assuming you already have your website domain set up with a hosting provider or some server hosting that provides PHP backend processing, the simplest way to do up your contact.php is:

PHP:

<?php
/* Obtain the form variable values */
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

/*
* Form a ~~~ delimited record from your data
*/
$data = "$name~~~$email~~~$subject~~~$message";

/*
* Store the (text) record into a file
*/
$fp = fopen("records.dat", "a+"); // Create/Open a file for appending data to it
fwrite($fp, "$data\n");
fclose($fp);


This is the simplest form. There's no consideration for security, no validation done on your data
and no checks for duplicates etc.

If you want to store the data in a database (e.g. MySQL DB), you really need to check out some tutorials on the web (or from youtube) on how to do this. There are loads of such tutorials.

Regards,
