I made a contact form which works perfectly. I combined both the html and php in a .php file, but I noticed that after I used a .htaccess file in my GoDaddy server to remove the PHP extension from my website, the contact form no longer works. If you click the submit button, it only reloads the page, no error messages, no success message, nothing.
Here's the code that I used.
<?php
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$number = $_POST['phoneNumber'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = $_POST['name'];
$to = 'xxxxxxxxxxx';
$subject = 'Client Enquiry';
$body =" From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Mobile: $number\n Message:\n $message";
// Check if name has been entered
if (!$_POST['name']) {
$errName = 'Please enter your name';
}
// Check if email has been entered and is valid
if (!$_POST['email'] || !filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
$errEmail = 'Please enter a valid email address';
}
// Check if number has been entered and is valid
if (!$_POST['phoneNumber']) {
$errNumber= 'Please enter your number';
}
//Check if message has been entered
if (!$_POST['message']) {
$errMessage = 'Please enter your message';
}
// If there are no errors, send the email
if (!$errName && !$errEmail && !$errNumber && !$errMessage) {
if (mail ($to, $subject, $body)) {
$result='<div class="alert alert-success">Thank You! We would get back to you within 24 hours.</div>';
} else {
$result='<div class="alert alert-danger">Sorry there was an error sending your message. Please try again later.</div>';
}
}
}
?>

I would go ahead and add the rewrite rule I used.
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L,NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate that.
