Description

In this lab, I extended my portfolio with a fully functional contact form. The submitted messages are stored in a database using PHP and MySQL. The portfolio owner can read all messages via a hidden page.

Reflection

Woaw!

It was interesting to see how PHP and HTML work together to store data in a database.

Aauuw!

This was my first time setting up a database like this. I was already familiar with MySQL, so it was easy to understand.

Not sure?

Everything went well and nothing felt difficult.
