Hi Ajaxrand,

<tr>
<td><form name="form1" method="post" action="mailfor m.php">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" >
<tr>
<td width="16%">Sub ject</td>
<td width="2%">:</td>
<td width="82%"><in put name="subject" type="text" id="subject" size="50"></td>
</tr>
<tr>

$header="from: $name <$mail_from>" ;

// Enter your email address
$to ='YOU@YOURDOMAI N.COM';

$send_contact=m ail($to,$subjec t,$message,$hea der);

// Check, if message sent to your email
// display message "We've recived your information"
if($send_contac t){
echo "We've recived your contact information";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>
[/code]

Nice work ! There is No problem with your html form. But there are few issues with php script.

Didn't you try to get the POSTed values to Variables
[CODE=php]$your_variable_ name = $_POST['html_form_elem ent'];[/CODE]

I didn't see them on the script.

Then The Error says something Like this, Your SMTP server doesn't allow you to send the mails.

If you are trying this on a Local server Set up your SMTP server to send mails.
