I have created a form using php that consists of two files; the first file is called "contact.html" and the second file is called "contact.php". The submitter is supposed to enter his/her name and email address and hit the "send" button. The form should then be email to my email address and a courtesy reply should also be sent out to the submitter via the email address from the form. The url for my form is: http://microsale-pos.com/TestStuff/Microsale3/contact.html. Any help would be appreciated as i am new to php and am not sure what im doing. Below is the code for the two files:

"CONTACT.HTML"

I dont understand what phpmyborder is on about but you never stated what error you are having? I went to the form, submitted my details, got redirected to a success page, so it seamed to work fine?

Also next time you post please use vb tags to encase yoour code!

[ php ]

code here

You should have also received a courtesy reply email. That is where i am having the problem. It acts as though thit is working fine(giving you the success page), but it does not send the mail. Do you have any suggestions?

Go back and edit your post. Put all your code within code tags. The way you have posted it is totally unreadable. Also if you want to get an efficient response read help us to help you (http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64280)
