Alright, i did this my self please do not take credit. it will also send the IP address of the person submitting it, this will prevent people from spamming you, if they do just ban there IP.(if you need a script to do this just ask)

First Create A Page Called "contact.php"(without the " ")
PHP:
<form action="contactme.php" mehod="post">
  <p align="center"> <font color="#FFFFFF"><b><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2" face="Verdana">Name:</font></font><font size="2" face="Verdana"> 
    <input type="text" name"username" size="30"/>
    <br>
    <br>
    <font color="#CCCCCC">Email:</font> 
    <input type="text" name="useraddr" size="30">
    <br>
    <br>
    <font color="#FFFFFF">Message:</font> 
    <textarea name="comments" cols="30" rows="5"> </textarea>
    <br>
    <br>
    <input type="submit" value="Send Form">
    </font></p><br>
</form></b>

Now Make a page called contactme.php
PHP:
<div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2">Thank You For Contacting Me, I Will Respond 
  ASAP.</font></div>
<?PHP
#Where you want the email to go
$to = "[email protected]";

#subject of the message, change this
$re = "contactformmadebyredneck";

#message from the feedback form, don't touch this will send persons ip
$msg = "$comments\n\n IP : $REMOTE_ADDR";

#send the mail, don't edit this
mail($to,$re,$msg);
?>

pretty simple, to have the form appear open the file called contect.php after you upload it

To edit the Message that appears after the form is submitted edit this line in contactme.php
PHP:
<div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2">Thank You For Contacting Me, I Will Respond 
  ASAP.</font></div>

Thanks to Atom for adding the IP part.

Post any questions you may have here.

Nice script, but I'm wondering, why wouldn't the email address be picked up by spambots?



Thanks,
John

Thanks,

it would not be picked up ny spam bots because the emeail address is a php variable and not presented on the web. if you echoed the email variable on the page that would be another thing

Okay, I guess I'll try it then. I just didn't know if spambots would scan through stuff like that.


Thanks,

I use frontpage and then output the form to a mail processing script. Works well for me.

hmmm, this would work better
contact.php
PHP:
<form action="contactme.php" mehod="post">
    <font color="#CCCCCC">Name:</font> 
    <input type="text" name="username" size="30">
    <br>
    <br>
    <font color="#CCCCCC">Email:</font> 
    <input type="text" name="useraddr" size="30">
    <br>
    <br>
    <font color="#CCCCCC">Website URL:</font> 
    <input name="website" type="text" id="website" size="30">
    <br>
    <br>
    <font color="#FFFFFF">Message:</font> 
    <textarea name="comments" cols="30" rows="5"> </textarea>
    <br>
    <br>
    <input type="submit" value="Send Form">
    </font></p>
  <br>
</form>



contactme.php

PHP:
<div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF" size="2">Thank You For Contacting Me, I Will Respond 
  ASAP.</font></div>
<?PHP
#Where you want the email to go
$to = "[email protected]";

#subject of the message, change this
$re = "Site Feedback";

#message from the feedback form, don't touch this
$msg = "$username\n$useraddr\n$website\n$comments\n\n IP : $REMOTE_ADDR";

#send the mail, don't edit this
mail($to,$re,$msg);
?>

the only difference is now theres a box for: Name, Email, Website and comments, the one he posted only sneds the message, the name and things were usless, now it'll send everything nicely
