Form to Email

Hi all,
This is my very first post so I will apologise in advance if this has been asked before.

I am in the middle of building a website for my small business and want to have a page where people can enter there name, address and phone number, which is then sent to me by email. This is the first time I have ever done any type of web building and HTML so please bare with me.

I have been told to use the following code -

Quote:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST" action="http://www.mywebsite.com/mail.php">
<input type="hidden" name="acctid" value="y3bnl0m29zeyn8o4">
<input type="hidden" name="formid" value="44928">
<table cellspacing="10" cellpadding="10" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<b>Name:</b>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<input type="text" name="name" size="40" value="">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<b>Address:</b>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<textarea name="9c997203b6ed47104" rows="6" cols="40"></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<b>Phone Number:</b>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<input type="text" name="43b9eb879bb7fa255" size="40" value="">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<b>Email Address:</b>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<input type="text" name="email" size="40" value="">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">
<input type="submit" value=" Submit Form ">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

My question is:

What code do I need to place in the file - www.mywebsite.com/mail.php ???

Thank you for any help

I recommend using PHPMailer (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/)

This is a feature rich php class for sending emails from PHP scripts.

Its a well documented script, and there are some nice examples to follow (http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/extending.html) on the site which should help.
