Do you have support for ASP or PHP on your webserver?

And welcome to DEVPPL.

Ok, let me write you a simple PHP-script for this:
[php]<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = $POST['to'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
mail($to, $subject, $message);

echo "Your mail has been sent!";

} else { ?>

<form method="post">
To: <input type="text" name="to" /><br />
Subject: <input type="text" name="subject" /><br />
Message: <textarea name="message"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send the mail" />

<?php } ?>[/php]

I just wrote it here so I haven't been able to test it, but I hope it should work.

were do i put my e- mail adderes ?

If you add that code I posted into page.php and then run it, wou will get a form with 3 fields, to, subject and message. Enter the email adress you want to send the mail to, in the To:-field. If you allways want the e-mail to be the same, use this script instead:

[php]<?php

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$to = "your@mail.com";
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
mail($to, $subject, $message);

echo "Your mail has been sent!";

} else { ?>

<form method="post">
Subject: <input type="text" name="subject" /><br />
Message: <textarea name="message"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send the mail" />

<?php } ?>[/php]

And just change your@mail.com to your own email.

I'm a bad bad bad man :p

I get an error
Warning: Failed to connect to mailserver, verify your "SMTP" setting in php.ini in ** on line 8.

So sorry
Need help

[webmaster]

This is something you have to talk with your webhost about, is seems like you don't have any mailserver installed, which you must have to make this function work.

I am using this code...

When the person fills out the info and hits send, it says that the email was sent

But, i dont get any emails...
