A little help?

[EDGE]

Okay, so I took your advice scott...I'm reading up on some php. Your right, so far I like it. Now, im having trouble with an email form. Everything works, but I don't ever recieve the emails. Is there just a long period of waiting time or did I do something wrong? I had some help from DN Lodge making this code, but it seems to not want to fully work. Anyhow, help please

email form:

<form method="post" action="sendmail.php"> Name: <input name="name" type="text" /><br />  Email: <input name="email" type="text" /><br />  Message:<br />  <textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="50">  </textarea><br />  <input type="submit" /></form>

and the sendmail.php code:

<? $name = $REQUEST['name'] ;  $email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;  mail( "steve.j.mcarthur@gmail.com", "Feedback Form Results",    $message, "From: $email" );  header( "Location: #LOCATION#" );?>

I am aware that the #LOCATION# needs to be replaced I added that so no one would take a peak at my site just yet.

Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

It worked as posted for me, all I did is drop my email in mail(), got rid of header() and added a underscore where you declare $name...

Also your host may have disabled sending of email from a null source, in which case youll need to set up a smtp thingo, my host did that without telling anyone and just about all scripts hosted on it stopped working lol, needless to say im not with em anymore lol

Thanks Mike I'm going to have to check into the smtp issue. I'm using a free host right now to test everything out until I actually purchase my own space when Im ready to set the site up.
