You need to point it to a page that handles the mail. Preferably the mail() function in php

Look up mail();

<input method="post" action="mailto:[email protected]" enctype="text/plain">

I "THINK" that will work. Unsure.

No, it won't.

<?php

    if( ! $_POST[ 'submit' ] ) { 
        echo '<form action="" method="post">
        
        Email to send to:<br /><input type="text" name="email" /><br />
        Message:<br /><textarea rows="2" cols="20" name="message"></textarea><br />
        <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
        
        </form>';
        
    } else { 
    
        $headers .= 'To: Me <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'From: Contact Email form thing! <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
        
        $subject = 'Couldn\'t be bothered to make another field, email from a contact form!';
        
        $to = $_POST[ 'email' ];
        $message = $_POST[ 'message' ];    
        
        mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    
    }
?>

That should work, change both of the headers to the emails that you wish to send to/from.

Is there a more simpler one I'm using HTML really not PHP I've been shown a simpler one but can't remember it... But thanks for all the help!

        echo '<form action="" method="post">
        
        Email to send to:<br /><input type="text" name="email" /><br />
        Message:<br /><textarea rows="2" cols="20" name="message"></textarea><br />
        <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
        
        </form>';
        
    } else { 
    
        $headers .= 'To: Me <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'From: Contact Email form thing! <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
        
        $subject = 'Couldn\'t be bothered to make another field, email from a contact form!';
        
        $to = $_POST[ 'email' ];
        $message = $_POST[ 'message' ];    
        
        mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
    
    }
?>

How would you send that to more than 1 person?

Not the best at this but er;

<?php

    if( ! $_POST[ 'submit' ] ) { 
        echo '<form action="" method="post">
        
        Email to send to:<br /><input type="text" name="email" /><br />
        Message:<br /><textarea rows="2" cols="20" name="message"></textarea><br />
        <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
        
        </form>';
        
    } else { 
    
        $headers .= 'To: Me <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'From: Contact Email form thing! <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
        
        $subject = 'Couldn\'t be bothered to make another field, email from a contact form!';
        
        $to = $_POST[ 'email' ];
        $message = $_POST[ 'message' ];    
        
        mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
        mail(whereyouwanttomail@heaven.com, $subject, $message, $headers);
    
    }
?>

That would probably work, there's obviously other ways of doing it, it depends what exactly you want to do.

Or you could even add more form spaces;

<?php

    if( ! $_POST[ 'submit' ] ) { 
        echo '<form action="" method="post">
        
        Email to send to:<br /><input type="text" name="email" /><br />
        Second Email to send to:<br /><input type="text" name ="email2" /><br />
        Message:<br /><textarea rows="2" cols="20" name="message"></textarea><br />
        <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />
        
        </form>';
        
    } else { 
    
        $headers .= 'To: Me <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'From: Contact Email form thing! <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
        
        $subject = 'Couldn\'t be bothered to make another field, email from a contact form!';
        
        $to = $_POST[ 'email' ];
        $toalt = $_POST['email2'];
        $message = $_POST[ 'message' ];    
        
        mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
        mail($toalt, $subject, $message, $headers);
    
    }
?>
