I'm not sure if this is possible even. I'm wanting to set up a page so that people can e-mail things (text only) to me with out it using the comps e-mail program.
I myself do not use out look express or programs like that so I can not use forms that use those to send the forms to the page owner and would like make a form that anyone can use.
So does anyone know if this is possible?

Yes, it is possible, assumbing that your server has a mail server. Here is the script that I use to do this.

I don't know if angelfire supports PHP or not, but for PHP, you need to use a .php or .php4 for pages with PHP on them. Often times, free servers require the later.
That script will only work on servers with global variables enabled. You are much better off writing them so they work even if global variables are disabled. ie. $REMOTE_ADDR should be $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], and when echoing the form values, rather than doing it like this: $uname it should be $_POST['uname'], etc...
I need help! I dont know PHP, so would someone explain how to upload and setup the form? You can e-mail me at creatormaster@aol.com instead of the forum if you would like. My AIM name is creatormaster too...

If you upload the code pyro provided, you should be able to get it working. If you have a specific question, post here or you can instant message me if you like (s/n is in my profile).
