Thank you. I'm assuming that a contact form is only possible on a php page and not on a plain html page? Sorry, I'm a new learner.

Yes.

 

There are so many security issues with web forms and spambots that it's often better to use a script that has security features built in, like

http://www.emailmeform.com/ (free)

http://www.formmail.com/

http://www.email-form.com/

You can create a form on a HTML/CSS page and have the information pulled from that form by a mail() script which as you know has to be a PHP form.

 

The way I have insured robots don't get to deep I have put a simple 'Whats 1 + 4?' equation at the start of my script. If the users doesn't enter the correct answer the form will fail

The actual form can be on anything (HTML/PHP/ASP/whatever), but you need something to process the form - this is where something like a PHP or CGI script comes in.

 

Do a search on this forum or in Google for "PHP contact form tutorial" there are loads of examples.
