jQuery or JavaScript is a client-side programming language. To process form data, you must use server-side programming.

If you need a basic contact form and your server supports PHP code, see this 3-part tutorial.

You need to tell us more. What kind of form? What does it do? Does it update a database or send an email?

To start with just a simple contact form that is secure.

Do you want the contact form to email or post to a database? Here is a script that emails the response. Take everything that follows and paste it into a blank file. Follow the given instructions. This script must be run on a remote server that contains a mail server. It will not run on your local computer.

<?php
// Name this file contact.php
// Be sure to change the value of $to to your own email address
// Be sure to name the file contact.php
// the next line only runs the processing script if the form has been submitted.
// the next line makes sure the email address is actually an email address
// The "!" at the beginning means do the following if the email address is NOT true. Remove the "!" and it would mean IF IS TRUE
if (!filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'email', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
$message="Please provide a correct email address";} else {
// strip_tags is a PHP function that removes all tags from a block of text. For instance harmful script could be injected in the form fields by a hacker. strip_tags will remove such scripts.
$name = strip_tags($_POST['name']);
$company_name = strip_tags($_POST['company_name']);
$telephone = strip_tags($_POST['telephone']);
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comments = strip_tags($_POST['comments']);
$to = 'your@emailaddress.com';
$subject = 'Contact form submitted.';
$body = $name. "\n" .$comments;
$headers = 'From: ' .$email;
// This is the line that actually mails the form data. The PHP function is simply mail(). The function needs to know:
// who to send to
// what the subject line should be
// what the email should consist of
// headers can include various info, but in this case just includes the email address of the sender
// Note that if the email does not send, a message is returned to notify the user of the failure.
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
echo 'Thanks for contacting us. We\'ll be in touch soon!';
} else {
$message = 'Sorry an error occurred. Please try again later.';
}
}
?>
