Contact form for HTML

[AceInfinity]

Just a FYI, you don't need to change the HTML extension to PHP to call the script..

What's the point of that though if it takes a php line as an indicator before things get parsed before being sent to the browser anyway though? Unless he has current SEO and pages backlinked to that contact page, (which I doubt it as he's only began the site recently from what I can tell), it's much better to just rename the extensions from the start. Much more proper and better habit. And also doesn't require and htaccess modification, so you can save that file for necessary things.

That link points to the fact that if you have any php code that you might need to add to an existing plain html file later on down the road after you've already gained backlinks and SEO with that particular filename with it's html file extension, a method to keep the html file extension while having optionality to use PHP. His/her case here is not related to anything where that would be required though.

MUCH safer as well I might assume, since it gets parsed as soon as it recognizes the file extension, instead of opening the file first before recognizing the data that has to be parsed as PHP. Plus it reduces the base code on the actual file uploaded to your site if your concerned with a few milliseconds of page load time which can possibly save bandwidth over a longer timespan.
