It sounds like you haven’t installed PHP on your server. ---

Rupinder - the e-mail not getting sent could be a misconfiguration on the server. Have you ever been able to use PHP to send an e-mail? Regarding your second question - look into this page for details: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Forms/Data\_form\_validation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Forms/Data_form_validation). More specifically, the `required` attribute can help. Cheers, Kirupa 😄 ---

Really love the simplicity of this form. I didn’t it could be done into such few lines of codes. But since this is little outdated now, here is a more latest version of contact form in php and html: [https://www.cloudways.com/blog/custom-php-mysql-contact-form/](https://www.cloudways.com/blog/custom-php-mysql-contact-form/) ---

Hello, I am trying to set up a contact page for my website - i found your easy contact page and set it up just the way your did - I uploaded it to the web server, I fill out the form & hit submit and the mailer.php downloads & it never sends the email nor get the auto-reply. Thanks in advance, Dave ---

Do you have PHP enabled on the server? ---

I’ve tried to implement your procedure to try it out on a test website. Everything appears to be setup correctly but when I hit send/submit - I get an syntax error. LIke this: **Parse error** : syntax error, unexpected ‘@’ in **/data/9/1/139/34/1791849/user/1938916/htdocs/mailer.php** on line **3** This line 3 is the email address line, which of course SHOULD have the @ symbol. I’ve checked the code and the syntax is properly formatted the same as what you provided.
