Adding a contact form helps in getting good leads quickly. Contact forms need not be complex. Here is a simple but powerful contact form that you can just download, customize and plug-in to your website.
Download the contact form code
You can download the contact form that best fits your needs and then customize as required.
Features of the contact form
- Simple contact form
- Standards compliant (100% XHTML 1.0 strict validated, uses CSS)
- Secured against spam bots and attacks
- Easy to customize
- Hosted on your own web server
- Free!
Installing the contact form on your web site
- Unzip the downloaded contact form code.
- Edit contactform.php and edit the email address to your email address
- Upload the folder contents to your website (to a sub-folder say, /contact)
- The contactform.php contains the form. You can link to this file or embed the form using iframe.
$formproc->AddRecipient('name@your-website.com'); //<<---Put your email address here
Here is sample iframe code to embed the form:
<iframe src='/contact/contactus.php' frameborder='0' width='100%' height='600' ></iframe>
Alternatively, you can modify contactform.php to have the same look of your web site.
Customizing the form
You can edit the contact.css file to change the style of the form. You can add any type of fields to the form. The fields will automatically be included in the form submission emails.

Is there a way to send a confirmation e-mail to the sender(‘s) with some text like thank you for response we will contact you later and other stuff ? it’s not a AddRecipient
Very useful contact form nice and easy.
I have been building websites for a while now as a “hobby”. I have just starting delving into the realms of PHP. I have successfully integrated a working blog into my existing website. However I am having issues with the contact form I am trying to activate on a website I have done for a friend.
I have followed the examples shown on this site – the form displays fine, the javascript validators work but no matter what I do I keep getting a “The code does not match. Please enter the code in the image” message. I have done it case sensitive and not.
I haven’t altered any of the PHP script, merely the HTML and CSS to affect the way it looks.
I know it is probably something silly I am missing – it always is!
try without the captcha perhaps?
Ubiquitous,
Did you ever solve this? I am having the same problem. Captcha just doesn’t work. 1 more hour and I seek another script.

Help! When you click submit, the only thing that happens is a little text that loads saying success and thats from the captcha text. No email is sent and no page redirection!
Can you help me please?
Thanks,
Jenixon
great code only one thing that the form send email even if there is no text in the message area
i mean what is the point of sending email with no message
is there a way to add message validation for empty message
thank you
How do I remove this text in the email body which is sent to me from this php contact script:
Submit :
Submit
Great emailer! Works great! However, I need the user to be able to select who they will send the email to. I tried making some routines with radio buttons, but the emails just disappear into oblivion. Any suggestions?
Hmmm… when I use this form, the email I receive shows the following in the “from” field:
From: Joe Schmoe <nobody@mydomain.com>
Shouldn’t it have Joe Schmoe’s email address there, not “nobody” form my domain?
Also, how do I modify the format of the email content that gets sent to me (I want to remove the “Sugmit: Submit” lines)
Thanks!
Found this code in bgcontactform.php:
$host = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$from =”nobody@$host”;
return $from;
But can’t figure out how to change the “nobody@$host” to actually reflect the user’s email address
Please Refer:

I have a peculiar problem.
First, I’ll say that everything works great.
When does it not work great? When the “name” of the person filling out the form is in non-English characters. Yes, I use this form in another language and when I use non-English characters in the “name” field, it still sends me the email and includes the “name” field in the email but does not include the “email address” or the “message” that was entered.
Any ideas?
Never mind… I figured it out. It’s in the fgcontactform.php file under the sanitization rules.
Great code!!! Thanks again!
Hey RonK! I see you use the form in different language, so I would like to ask you how do you do it?
I am trying to translate the from in Macedonian language with Macedonian alphabet characters but all i get is ???? ???? ?? instead of Full Name*, E-Mail Adress* etc.. I tried converting the file in UTF-8 encoding but it doesnt work…
Help!
This was working correctly then all the sudden getting this any clues? This comes when someone fills out the form and hits submit. This is the info on the screen.

Thank you for doing this. You have helped me in a time crunch for a project.
Exactly what I am looking for.
Nice explanation and easy to follow.
Many Thanks !!!!
Well, everything is working just fine. The only problem is that I need to have the thank you page open in a new window and not inside the form. Can you help me with this.
Thank you,
MTMedley
And I must say this is a great script and very easy to install.
$formproc->RedirectToURL(“/thank-you.php”);
Hello! Great article!!
One thing: What do I need to do if I have to show the Thank you msg in same iframe?
perfect job
Brilliant! Thank you 1000 times.
Thanks for the form!
The only thing I can’t get it to do is work with checkboxes. It only returns the last of the selected values. Any suggestions? It works fine with radio buttons.
Hello
I have a strange problem. When i put the form in an iframe, enter info and click submit, it says i did not pass the validation. If i enter the validation and submit again the form goes through fine.
If i test the form outside the iframe it works no problem. Any ideas anybody?
Love the forms thank you for all your hard work and making these available to us ignorants! Can you tell me whether it is possible to include a BCC as well as the email address for the reply? Thanks.
