Coding a generic form

Question: if I was to code a web page form, can I use PHP and skip Perl altogether?
My complaint is that Perl is inconvenient to use. I just gave up on it. CGI coding is not my way. PHP is heaven.

Perl is pretty much a joke and no shops use it.
PHP 8.1 really is an awesome programming language...I started programming in the mid 80s in C and after 10 years of pointer errors I moved to C++ and OOP. When i first started web development in 2001 I saw the LAMP stack as the obvious winner as its very hard to compete with free.

Yes, well you can use PHP and skip Perl altogether to create a web page form.
Code Example - <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>PHP Form Example</title> </head> <body> <h2>Contact Form</h2> <form method="post" action=""> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" id="name" name="name" required><br><br> <label for="email">Email:</label> <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required><br><br> <label for="message">Message:</label><br> <textarea id="message" name="message" rows="4" cols="50" required></textarea><br><br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </form> <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $name = $_POST['name']; $email = $_POST['email']; $message = $_POST['message']; // Process the form data, e.g., send an email $to = 'recipient@example.com'; $subject = 'New Contact Form Submission'; $messageBody = "Name: $name\nEmail: $email\nMessage:\n$message"; mail($to, $subject, $messageBody); echo '<p>Thank you for your submission!</p>'; } ?> </body> </html> Thanks

gulshan212, I thank you, but I think that I know how to code a PHP form, that's why I prefer PHP better than Perl.
But I admit fault in asking the question in the beginning. Perhaps I will learn to spare these questions. Again, I thank you. |
