Now that its over
Well I hope that that was easy enough. For those seasoned programmers out there sneering at this tutorial, I would apologize, but I clearly stated the purpose of this tutorial. This is the next best step to having a forms action set to "mailto:someone@someaddress.com". It allows information sent without the user ever needing to leave your site or interface with another program, as well as making the data contained in the email a little easier on the eyes.
Again, I would like to point out that there are much more thorough ways to process forms on your site. By writing a custom PHP at the beginning of each file that a form is contained in, you can carry out much more detailed form validation, which would also allow you the ability to create custom error messages to be displayed for each form input.
I will be creating another article aimed more at this goal. If in the meantime you are curious, please find my article on restricted users areas to see some of this in action.
Thanks for your interest and reading along. Take Care!
