[SOLVED] forms to send emails

[bhben]

I am a complete beginner with php, and i'm trying to send information from a form to my hotmail email address.

 

Please see the attached html file with my form. On selecting submit the file "formresult.php" is opened and it is here I am not sure what to include. I have tried a few things but to no avail. I wish for an email message to be sent and for this new page to display the information. So far i have been unable to do both.

 

I would like to add I am doing all of this on my own machine and so no contact is made with a server (although this is the final goal i need it working like this first).

 

So my formresult.php file should send the email out and display the information added to the form.

 

Please help.

 

Ben.

just use the mail function: http://au2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php. so try:

mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, "From: ".$from_email);
