Creating the main form
email_form_1.php is the file that a link, such as a "Contact Us" link might point to. It simply presents a standard form by calling the form display function from form_output_fns.php.
Open the email_form_1.php file in your forms folder. Then copy and paste the code below into it and save and close it.
<?php // Start the
PHP parser
/*Activate the form_output_fns.php file to make it's functions accessible.*/
include ('form_output_fns.php');
?> <!-- Stop the PHP
and switch to good ol html -->
<html>
<head>
<body>
<h4>Welcome To My Hidden Email Form.</h4>
<?php // Start the PHP
parser to access the function
display_email_form($f_name,$l_name,$e_mail,$subject,$content);
?> <!-- Stop the PHP
parser and wrap up the page html tags -->
</body>
</html>

The page to call the email form to display works like this.
1. Start PHP to activate the include call.
2. Fire up the my_email_output.php file by including it right up front.
3. Switch back to really basic html tags to display the page.
4. Re-start PHP to call the display_email_form() function in my_email_output.php
5. Shut down PHP and end the html tags.
Simple As That! Only 2 lines of PHP code does all the work!
