Thank you for your help.

And Joel, if you haven't already, try looking at Randy's Build a Simple PHP Application course. He goes over fully implementing a contact form in this series.

- ReCaptcha is a great easy to plugin captcha system that works well.
- As to preventing SQL injection that is a bigger topic but using Prepared Statements is a good step in the right direction. Good Foundational Article

29,401 PointsHey James,
I wanted to update this question. My first website I designed over 2 years ago and did it in html and css without the file extension of php. Issue is the site has grown and becomes tedious to maintain and update.
Since I've learned more php I would like to add its features like includes for easier site updates. Issue is I am on page 1 of google for my main keywords and fear changing file extensions would cause a drop in rankings.
What is the best way to resolve this?
Thanks for your help.
