Having Trouble with Formmail.php

[fireboat]

I know very little about php, and have been struggling for the last few days to get formmail.php to work properly on my site.

Basically, all I want to do is let people enter thair name and email on my site and have it emailed to me.

I made the forms, but I don't receive the emails. Also, the page gets redirected to the wrong place when they click submit.

I've included details of the steps I've taken, a copy of the php script with my changes, and a copy of the forms on this web page: http://www.superteacherworksheets.com/help.html

Thank you for reading. I appreciate any help you can give.

DESCRIPTION
FormToEmail allows you to place a form on your website which your visitors can fill out and send to you. The contents of the form are sent to the email address which you specify below. The form allows your visitors to enter their name, email address and comments. If they try to send a blank form, they will be returned to the form.
Your visitors (and nasty spambots!) cannot see your email address!  The script cannot be hijacked by spammers.
When the form is sent, your visitor will get a confirmation of this on the screen, and will be given a link to continue to your homepage, or other page if you specify it.
Should you need the facility, you can add additional fields to your form, which this script will also process, without making any additional changes.
This is a PHP script. In order for it to run, you must have PHP (version 4.1.0 or later) on your webhosting account. If you are not sure about this, then please ask your webhost about it.
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Put the form on your webpage
Step 2: Enter your email address and continue link below
Step 3: Upload the files to your webspace
Step 1:
To put the form on your webpage, copy the code below as it is, and paste it into your webpage:
<form action="FormToEmail.php" method="post">
<table border="0" bgcolor="#ececec" cellspacing="5">
<tr><td><font face="arial" size="2">Name</font></td><td><input type="text" size="30" name="Name"></td></tr>
<tr><td><font face="arial" size="2">Email address</font></td><td><input type="text" size="30" name="Email"></td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top"><font face="arial" size="2">Comments</font></td><td><textarea name="Comments" rows="6" cols="30"></textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><input type="submit" value="Send"><font face="arial" size="1">&nbsp;&nbsp;FormToEmail by <a href="<A href="http://FormToEmail.com">FormToEmail.com</a></font></td></tr">http://FormToEmail.com">FormToEmail.com</a></font></td></tr>
</table>
</form>
Step 2:
Enter the email address below to send the form to:
*/
$my_email = "delete these words and put the email address only in here between the quotes";
/*
Enter the continue link to offer the user after the form is sent. If you do not change this, your visitor will be given a continue link to your homepage:
If you do change it, remove the "/" symbol below and replace with the name of the page to link to, eg: "mypage.htm" or "http://www.elsewhere.com/page.htm"
*/
$continue = "/";
/*
Step 3:
Save this file (FormToEmail.php) and upload it together with your webpage to your webspace. IMPORTANT - The file name is case sensitive! You must save it exactly as it is named above! Do not put this script in your cgi-bin directory (folder) it may not work from there.
THAT'S IT, FINISHED!
You do not need to make any changes below this line.
