I would appreciate some help. I am not a web designer or developer. I have been thrown into looking after my website since my guy quit. I have made some changes on Dream Weaver to my website without problems. But the Contact page would not load the changes I made. It's the only page that has html and a php files. The changes on the html wouldn't load. So I tried the php file. Mistake. Now the page shows the code and the toll free number I was trying to remove is still there. Plus when I go back to html it won't load now. Ideas? Career change? Thanks.

I hope for your sake you have a back up copy of the original contact.php file someplace.

Problem solved. Thanks so much for responding and your help.

I'll be more careful about copying the info before I make changes.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks Nancy but I don't know enough about coding to find the mistakes. I have now got it to where the site shows the contact page as php but if I manually change it to html the page is correct. cancunziplinetours/contact.html . But if you close and reopen the site it is automatically php and shows code. cancunziplinetours/contact.php . My question now is how do I get the site to use the html code on the Contact page and not the php code. If I can do that all will be fixed. Thanks.

HTML forms don't do anything. They require scripts to gather and process form data. If your contact form contains PHP code, then the whole page must be saved with a .php file extension.

Can you copy and paste the entire contact.php code into a forum reply? Don't use e-mail, it won't come through.
