I don't know PHP outside of using includes. However, I'm trying to build a contact form and want to use PHP to process it.

I'm slowly reading over the documentation at w3schools.com

However, I'm wondering if I need to make the processing secure or if I can just do it the "easy way" by having the page reload?

Also, what are some good PHP resources online that you guys use?

I would have the page re-load unless you have any reason not to. I hae used "http://www.phphelp.com/" in the past for help with php. Its all about php, so you should be able to find what you need in there.

Check out PHPMailer.
http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/

It's a form handling class which can make the implementation and customisation process a doddle.


Additionally, by way of security…

• Validate the email address (naturally)
e.g. http://www.addedbytes.com/php/email-address-validation/

• Check that there are no attempts at header injection
e.g. http://www.jellyandcustard.com/2006/02/24/email-header-injection-in-php/
