Well, the first thing that strikes me is that there is no submit button, and you need a submit button to send a form! And on the receiver script there is no error handler for the $_POST array for if it isset() but not having the value you expect, also the ereg function has been officially superseded by preg, I forget which version of PHP, but it's something that is best fixed now.

 

And seriously, the @ prefixing the mail() is a bad Idea, it only returns a boolean so personally I would leave it so that you get AS MUCH information back from the function as possible, the mail() isn't very helpful anyway as it doesn't really give any confirmation on the successful sending of an email until it actually arrives in the inbox (I would check the junk folder too, the get in there sometimes...)

 

Lastly, you need to run the strip_tags() function over the entire $_POST array so that potentially malicious code can be stripped from the user submitted data - NEVER trust a user!

 

Hopefully some of that makes sense.
