Well, since you're not much of a coder, i'll assume you got that from some other site. So my first recommendation would be to search through the tutorial database for "mail" (specifically in the php section), there are hundreds of tutorials on it how to use this. There are some far better ways of doing this then what they used (or at least better in my opinion).

And then after doing that, take a look at: http://php.net/manua...nction.mail.php

And deadly is right in saying that none of the variables were assigned. I'm assuming it's because that script probably relied on register_globals (which is normally turned off now a days, and could be causing part of the problem).

Now, i did this
<form action="contact.php" method="post">

  <p>Name: 
	<input type="text" name="name">
	<br>

E-mail: 
<input type="text" name = "email">
<br>
Subject:
<input type="text" name = "subject">
<br>

Message:<br>

<textarea name="message1" cols="35" rows="5" id="message1"></textarea>
<br>
<br>

<input type="submit" value="Send">
  </p>
</form>
<?

$name=$_POST['name'];

$email=$_POST['email'];

$subject=$_POST['subject'];

$message1=$_POST['message1'];

$to="nbigdog2000@gmail.com";

$message=" A Message was sent to you from your website (www.studio17inc.com). \n Name: $name \n Email: $email \n Subject: $subject \n Message: $message1";

if(mail($to,"Message from Website",$message,"From: $email\n")) {

echo "Thanks for contacting us, we will contact you A.S.A.P.";

} else {

echo "There was a problem sending your story. Please check that you filled in the form correctly.";

}

?>

i got 2 problems with this.

1. It sends two emails, 1 is blank, it just has this
A Message was sent to you from your website (www.studio17inc.com).
Name:
Email:
Subject:
Message:
and the 2nd email has the information filled.

2. http://www.competenc...o17/contact.php
