TO THIS
The only difference being that the action will point to email-data.php (this file). Save form.html when you are done. Alternatively, you could copy form.html and name it something else (for example, form-test-email.html) and then change the action value in form-test-email.html to email-data.php. That would allow you to have form.html for testing the form with show-data.php and form-test-email.html for testing the form with email-form.php. 4) After that, place the form HTML file, the css folder, and this file (email-data.php) on a web server that has PHP installed. For example, if you have an account with a web host, you could upload the files to your server (see Chapter 21). The vast majority of web host accounts have PHP pre-installed, so you shouldn't have to do anything special beyond uploading the files. But, if the form doesn't work after you upload the files, your web host or their site's help pages may be of assistance. You may also test the form on your own computer if you have PHP and a web server such as Apache installed and running. OS X (Macs) has these installed by default. More information for enabling these is available at http://osxdaily.com/2012/09/10/enable-php-apache-mac-os-x/, although some of the process is a little technical. You may find it easier to download one of the following packages that install Apache, PHP, MySQL and more on your computer, and provide an interface for you to turn them on and off easily. - OS X only: MAMP (www.mamp.info) - Windows only: WampServer (http://www.wampserver.com) - Linux, OS, or Windows: XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) Search online for more information about using one of these packages. IMPORTANT: However, unlike running show-data.php on your computer's server, email-data.php may require some additional configuring of your computer so PHP's mail() function will send the email. Search online for additional information if email-data.php is not sending emails when run from your machine. Extra configuration probably won't be necessary if you run this on your web host's server. */ if (empty($_POST)) { print "
