1. Create a HTML form

2. On the page where the form submits to,

$sender=$_POST['email'];
$sendername=$_POST['name'];
$subject=$_POST['subject'];
$content="$sendername of $sender has sent the following message: \n\n" . $_POST['content'];
mail("admin@688206002.hostmatrix.org", $subject, $content);
echo "Your form has been submitted. The staff will try to contact you ASAP!<br><br>";



Obviously, edit to fit needs.

No, make a page where the HTML form would be.
Make the form submit to... say, formsubmit.php (change to whatever you want)
Make sure that the text field where the sender inputs his/her email address is called "email", name, "name", and subject, "subject." The textarea where the body of the msg would be should be named "content."

Put the code posted above inn the formsubmit.php page.


EDIT:
Make the form method "post" not "get".

What is "$_POST['content'];" and $_POST['subject']; looking for? As nothing through the form is sent under those names.

I dunno whats causing the error but you could try a few things :D First of all make the forms action $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; and try making the 2 post variables I mentioned early have some value. Then come back and tell us if there is still any errors.

EDIT: And why do you use ' for HTML values I thought you had to use "?

And I edited your posted to make the link you gave us work :D

There is a script in script library called: Script generator, or something of that nature. I tired it out, it works well enough for you basic needs, sends results to your E-mail.

I should reccomend DynaForm (http://www.webligo.com/products_dynaform.php) Just edit the script a bit, then make an html form with the action as dynaform.php, and the method of POST. It'll send you an email, and though they're not the prettyest, they have every piece of information that you could need. Easy, and effective.

That dynaform is awsome.
Thanks
