1,451 PointsHow to make a contact from work with HTML and PHP
I have made a simple contact form with HTML and PHP. I uploaded both files to my server but it still does not send when I try to send a e-mail. How are they supposed to be linked? For example I know how to link a html and css file together but I cannot see anywhere where it shows how the PHP file is linked to the HTML file. I have attached my code below (the PHP code is in the javascript box) http://codepen.io/Johned22/pen/GNqOxd Where am I going wrong? Thanks in advance

This tutorial, but you need php server though. You can try pushing this to heroku as your backend.

1,451 PointsThanks for your advice. I am new to this and only really been working on HTML and CSS so can you explain a little when you said I need a php server? Right now I use hostgator can I use something within hostgator for this? I am still n ot sure what a php server is. Thanks

I found the newer tutorial from our new php instructor. Just watch this tutorial.
You can ftp the files onto the server.
You would use ajax to make contact form work on codepen.io so you need to learn jquery
