This is taken (and edited to protect the innocent) from my web site. To see what mine looks like, go to http://www.charles-reace.com/mail.php
<?php
/*
* following line gets my email address from password-protected directory
* file just needs to be something like:
* <?php
* $address = "myname@mail_provider.com"
* ?>
*/
include "sub_directory/email.txt";
echo "<html><head><title>Email Me</title></head><body>\n";
echo "<h1>Email Me</h1>\n";
if(isset($send))
{
if(preg_match("/[A-Ba-b0-9]/",$subject) > 0 and
preg_match("/[A-Ba-b0-9]/",$message) > 0 and
preg_match("/[A-Ba-b0-9]/",$addy) > 0)
{
$result = mail($address, $subject, "From: $addy
Subject: $subject

$message", sprintf("Reply-To: %s", $addy));
if($result)
{
echo "<h2>Message Sent</h2>\n";
echo "<p><a href=index.php>Return to home page.</a></p>\n";
}
else
{
echo "<h2>ERROR: Message Not Sent</h2>\n";
echo "<p>PHP returned the following error: $result</p>\n";
echo "<p><a href=index.php>Return to home page.</a></p>\n";
}
}
else
{
echo "<h2>ERROR: All Fields Are Required</h2>\n";
echo "<p><a href=mail.php>Try again</a>.\n";
}
}
else
{
echo "<form action=mail.php>\n";
echo "<p>Your email address:&nbsp;";
echo "<input type=text size=30 maxlength=50 name=addy></p>\n";
echo "<p>Message subject:&nbsp;";
echo "<input type=text size=50 maxlength=70 name=subject></p>\n";

WHat you need is HTML not PHP, please check your forum next time :)



ALl you need to do is replace:
<FORM ACTION="POST">

With
<FORM ACTION="POST" METHOD="mailto:Username@Server.Ext">

And, that HTML has a lot of syntax errors I suggest you run it through the W3C cheker and correct 'em (Link: http://validator.w3.org/ )

Hope that helps,
