Its simple really all you are doing is saying take the information from the form then collect it together and send it off to your email. You need to know basics of PHP to do it though.

$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message];
$email = "
Name: $name /n Email: $email /n Subject: $subject/n Message: $message /n

Thankyou soooo much, just one last thing :D:D what does this mean?:
It should start with

HTML Code:

<form name="form" id="form" method="post" action="LOCATION.php">
LOCATION.php being the url of the form handler your using.
Whats the location just the URL for the site?

[splintercell!]

uhuh ;) and make a file called thanks.html and just enter a thankyou message saying the message has been submitted etc!

[24]

Okay Great Thanx sooo much :D +rep

$email = "
Name: $name /n Email: $email /n Subject: $subject/n Message: $message /n
