Not bad, I was looking for a contact form that was seperate to the index.php form but have modified my code to suit. Just hope it works, it remains to be seen.

Very helpful! I now have a much better understanding of how to add PHP into a web form, which was the one area I struggled with before taking this course.

I'm not understanding how you got localhost to interact with Brackets - how you started building your code and how it refreshes as localhost... if that makes sense...

Overall very good. Occasionally, it feels like there's a disconnect between what you're saying, and what you're doing on the screen.
