         created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
     );

3. Configure Database Connection

🧑‍💻 How It Works

• Submit Message: contact.html → contact.php → DB
• View Messages: contactusmessages.php fetches and displays all records
• Edit Message: Click "Edit" → edit.php → pre-filled form → update.php
• Delete Message: Click "Delete" → delete.php removes record
