    <p>i'm a total n00b when it comes to PHP (and arguably, web development in general :/), but i've taken a look at a ton of examples, comparing my code, and i just can't figure it out. basically all thats happening is the contact.php file is just getting downloaded to my computer. ugh. also, this client did not ask for any field validation, which is why theres none there. help!!</p> <p>heres my html- </p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="contact.php" method="post"&gt; &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;legend&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get A Quote!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/legend&gt; Call me at 555-555-5555, or email me at &lt;a href=""&gt;email@emaiul.com&lt;/a&gt;, or use the form below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;div class="clearfix"&gt; &lt;div class="input"&gt; &lt;input style="width:370px; height:35px; font-size:14px;" value="Name" name="name" size="50" type="text"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- /clearfix --&gt; &lt;div class="clearfix"&gt; &lt;div class="input"&gt; &lt;input style="width:370px; height:35px; font-size:14px;" value="Email" name="email" size="50" type="text"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- /clearfix --&gt; &lt;div class="clearfix"&gt; &lt;div class="input"&gt; &lt;input style="width:370px; height:35px; font-size:14px;" value="Phone" name="phone" size="50" type="text"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- /clearfix --&gt; &lt;div class="clearfix"&gt; &lt;div class="input"&gt; &lt;textarea style="width:370px; height:55px; font-size:14px;" name="message" size="50" type="text"&gt;Message&lt;/textarea&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- /clearfix --&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;button type="submit" name="saveForm" style="background-image: url(static/img/btn-submit.png); width:150px; height:37px;"&gt;&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>and the php- </p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if(isset($_POST['saveForm'])) { $to = "steven@urethrafranklin.org"; $subject = "Inquiry from website"; $name_field = $_POST['name']; $email_field = $_POST['email']; $phone_field = $_POST['phone']; $message = $_POST['message']; $body = "From: $name_field\n E-Mail: $email_field\n Message:\n $message"; mail($to, $subject, $body); } else { echo "Sorry, something went wrong.

    1. COAre you 100% that php is installed on the server that this runs on? BTW: you should validate nonetheless at least on a basic level, otherwise your script is vulnerable to other people using it to send SPAM (via injection of mail headers).

    2. COAre you using [FastCGI](http://www.fastcgi.com/drupal/) or another method to execute PHP? What does your server configuration look like for executing PHP content?

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.
