    Please help me

    hi
    ive got a form but i cant get it to email it to me when the submit button is pressed, ive read the bit below but cant work out what it means !!
    PLEASE HELP

    2) Now create a new file using Notepad and call it: contact.php
    So now you will have two pages one called

    www.YourDomainName.com/contact.html
    and one called
    www.
    YourDomainName.com/contact.php
    Enter the following code into the file (replace order@example.com with your own email address):

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Succesfully processed your order</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    <H2>Thanks for your order!</H2>

    <?PHP
    $email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
    $mailto = "
    order@example.com";
    $mailsubj = "Enter Your Subject Here";
    $mailhead = "From: $email\n";
    reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
    $mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form:\n";
    while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
    {
    $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
    }
    mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
    ?>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    I don't really know how to explain it much better than that. Open up notepad (start>all programs>accessories>notepad>).
    Paste the above code into a new page, changing the relevant bits to reflect your details. Save as (change the file type to all files) contact.php

    Back to your BV page. Use the file publisher tool (looks like a globe with an arrow on it). It opens a box. Duble click the box and browse for the contact.php file that you've just created.

    Publish your page as normal.

    The file published doesn't show on your published page but acts as a kind of basket to carry files to your public.html folder.

    If, after trying the above, you are still experiencing difficulties then please post back asking for help.

    Good luck.

                  Ok then you probably did a goofy like me. Did you name you page contact.bvp or contactme.bvp ...just to be sure that was okay.
                  1.) Now on your form double click to open the properties dialog box.
                  2.) In the section that says action you should type contact.php (or what ever second page you chose...it could also be thankyou.php) as your action to occur. Remember that you must have created a contact.php page for that to work. I created a thankyou page in bluevoda thankyou.bvp and directed my action to thankyou.php so that when my visitors finish the form and send they are sent to the thank you page.
                  3.) Publish all your pages before trying to test your form. I then published all my pages including the thankyou.bvp. Also did you copy the exact script on Andy's tutorial and place it in the page html in the inside tag section of the page you are directing the action to take place (ie your contact.php page where action is directed.) I know this sounds confusing but try and see what happens.
                  4.) Publish everything and see what happens and then we can try again if you are still having problems.

                  basically you have to have somewhere for the page to go to...whether it is thankyou or contactme.

                          Diid you test your form by filling out the fields and sending it.
                          Have you gone into your cpanel and setup your account?
                          I can test it for you by filling out and sending to you if you like....
                          I thought your form looked great and had a lot of info. It is quite fabulous ..although I wanted to know if you meant to spell pinata the way you did deliberately?
