    <p>I'm trying to make a contact form for my website but when I press submit, the php file is downloaded instead of being ran. I am using chrome but don't think that should matter I think there's a syntax error but I've messed around with removing, adding and stuff and even when there is no syntax errors, it still downloads the file rather than runs it And, yes...it is the exact name of the php file (SendEmail.php)</p> <p><strong>HTML</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;form name="contactform" method="post" action="SendEmail.php"&gt; &lt;div class="ContactHeaders"&gt;Name:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="Name" class="ContactBoxes"/&gt; &lt;div class="ContactHeaders"&gt;Email:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="Email" class="ContactBoxes"/&gt; &lt;div class="ContactHeaders"&gt;Message:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="width:100%"&gt; &lt;textarea name="Message" maxlength="1000"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="width: 100%"&gt; &lt;input type="submit" class="Submitbtn" value="Submit"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>PHP</strong></p> <pre><code>if(isset($_POST['Email'])) { $email_to = "email@domain.com"; $email_subject = "Website Contact"; function died($error) { echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted."; echo "These errors appear below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; echo $error."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; echo "Please go back and fix these errors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"; die(); } // validation expected data exists if(!isset($_POST['Name']) || !isset($_POST['Email']) || !isset($_POST['Message'])) { died('Sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.'); } $first_name = $_POST['Name']; // required $last_name = $_POST['Email']; // required $email_from = $_POST['Message']; // required $error_message = ""; $email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/'; if(!preg_match($email_exp,$Email)) { $error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.&lt;br /&gt;'; } $string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/"; if(!preg_match($string_exp,$Name)) { $error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.&lt;br /&gt;'; } if(strlen($Message) &lt; 10) { $error_message .= 'The message you entered does not appear to be valid.&lt;br /&gt;'; } if(strlen($error_message) &gt; 0) { died($error_message); } function clean_string($string) { $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href"); return str_replace($bad,"",$string); } $Name .= clean_string($Name)."\n"; $Email .= clean_string($Email)."\n"; $Message .= clean_string($Message)."\n"; //email headers $headers = 'From: '.$Email."\r\n". 'Reply-To: '.$Email."\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $Message, $headers); ?&gt; Thank you for contacting me. I will be in touch with you very soon. &lt;?php } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I can't find what's wrong!!! </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
