php form in htm page

davidg47

Please forgive me if my question seems too simple, but is there a way to embed a php form into a htm web page? I have a htm page that I want to put a php form onto and set it up so that once the submit button is clicked on, the information entered onto the form will be e-mailed to me. I know how to build the php form, and how to have the information e-mailed to me... but, I do not know how to embed the php form into my htm page. If you will go to http://www.davystuff.com/contact.htm, this is the page where I want to put the php form in place of the form that is currently there. Thanks for your help.

What does PHP form look like?

If you will go to www.davystuff.com/comments.php, you will see what the form looks like, I want to be able to put it in the same place as the current form that is now showing on www.davystuff.com/contact.htm
Thanks for your help.

if you change the name of contact.htm to contact.php you can either copy and paste the form into the page or use

<?php
include("comments.php");
?>

where you want the form to go

You can then set the old page contact.htm to redirect to contact.php and change all the links in your site to the new page

using this code in the head section of the page

hope this is useful

There is no such "PHP form"...

Just make form.html and put your HTML form there, remember to have... <form action="form.php" method="post">

Then you make form.php and put your form handler there.

he might have used php to construct the form

Is there a way to put the PHP for within a frame on the page? I am not very good at building a page from PHP, I only have experience with building forms. If I were to build the entire page out of PHP, I would want the layout of the page to look exactly like the existing htm page.

you don't need to use forms - you can use html in a php page

first make your html page just like you would a normal html page, but instead of calling it your_page.html, call it your_page.php

where you want the form to go put in code like this:

<?php
//php form here
