After going through the videos again and searching my code, I'm still not sure why I only load the h1 Contact and nothing else functions afterwards. Does anything jump out as wrong?
<?php if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") { $name = $_POST["name"]; $email = $_POST["email"]; $message = $_POST["message"]; $email_body = ""; $email_body = $email_body . "Name: " . $name . "\n"; $email_body = $email_body . "Email: " . $email . "\n"; $email_body = $email_body . "Message" . $message . "\n";
// TODO: Send Email
header("Location: contact.php?status=thanks"); exit; } ?><?php $pageTitle = "Contact Mike"; $section = "contact"; include('inc/header.php'); ?>
<div class="section page"> <div class="wrapper"> <h1>Contact</h1>
<?php if (isset($_GET["status"]) AND $_GET["status"] == "thanks") { ?>
<p>Thanks for the email! I’ll be in touch shortly.</p>
<?php> } else { ?>
<p>I’d love to hear from you! Complete the form to send me an email.</p>
<form method="post" action="contact.php">
<table>
<tr>
<th>
<label for="name">Name</label>
</th>
<td>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" required>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>
<label for="email">email</label>
</th>
<td>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" required>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>
<label for="message">Message</label>

<textarea name="message" id="message" required></textarea>
</td>

<input type="submit" value="Send">

<?php } ?>

22,989 PointsDo you get an error? I noticed at your else block:
<?php> } else { ?>
That you have
instead of ```<?php```. I would try changing that and see if that makes any difference.

22,986 PointsTry throwing this:
<?php
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
right at the beginning of your code - it should show you syntax errors and stuff making debugging like this super quick!

14,469 PointsWHY!?? Seriously, I freaked out for around half an hour yesterday because I had written funtion instead of function and didn't see it until I had researched the h*** out of everything else. Thank you btw! :)
