You should check out the course Build a Simple PHP Application. Randy takes you through how to set up PHP Mailer, along with all the server setup you'll need to do. If you're fairly comfortable with PHP, you could skip right to the "Adding a Contact Form" section, but I would recommend going through the whole course.
Good luck!

39,021 PointsYes, you need a wesbite set up. If you have your own, you may be able to figure out using Sendgrid - which is what I use on my site - or another framework.

2,435 PointsHi, again, i probably , if i get time do it tomorrow or in two days. The problem when living with parents and having a pc thats 25% mine and its near TV , living room where its impossibile to study programming .
My main point is that i looked at your webiste and i really like it but i thought about that it could look even nicer if you maybe could try with a thick line on the bottom of the page? like a green line? and put the date etc.. just a try , its kind of hard to see your footer up there . And contact maybe i though about the links to fb and twitter maybe? to balance it out with your right side. Just a suggestion . But at the end i dont know how it will look in practice, i just imagined and thought about it what could be nice too.

2,435 Pointsoh, i have a little question . How long did it take you to learn Obj-C? and how much effort did you put in it?

39,021 PointsHey thanks for the feedback on my site! I'll definitely try some of those suggestions out. I got an email from "k" with an email of "k" and the message was "k"... I assume that was you hah. I've taken that as a cue to add email address validation :).
As far as objective-c goes, it took quite a while, but I was doing it on the side while working a full-time non-programming job (as I am now)... it's a pretty tricky language, though. I actually do most of my iOS coding in Swift now. The only downside is that it's harder to find answers to problems on StackExchange, etc. since it's such a young language.
