PHP Course: Adding a Contact Form

Do we address later how to make this form submission end up being delivered as an email or similarly how we can even set it up as a subscription to a newsletter database?

This is something that's definitely covered in this course - but I think it comes in at the final badge. Keep on rocking through and it will come up!

Sending starts from here.

With regards to signing up for a mailing list, that's super simple. You'll need to work on your database know-how, which is also covered in this track. Keep at it, because by the end of this course, you should be equipped to complete your task!

Darren, Emailing the form submission was covered a video or two before this one: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-php-application/adding-a-contact-form/redirecting-after-a-form-submission.

As for the newsletter database, are you looking to plug in to something like mailChimp or to create your own?

Hi Andrew,

That video only shows us how to redirect to a thank you page, but the actual step of sending a completed form to a specified email address isn't covered here. Maybe I've missed something?

Newsletter database: more likely something akin to mailchimp but potentially the latter too.
