P.S. Shouldn't this be in the PHP forum?

@rzanwu36authorAug 11.2004 — is the PHP file a different file or what?? ahhh i really need help. i have the part:

<form action="mailer.php" method="post">

Name: <input type="text" name="name">

Email: <input type="text" name="email">

Message: <textarea name="message"></textarea>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form">

</form>

for my form, but then where does the <PHP? part go... im so confused!

@AdamGundryAug 12.2004 — Did you download the example? You need to create a file called mailer.php which contains nothing except the section from <?PHP to ?>. You may need to edit the options at the top of the script to match what you want to do.
