Anyinsights welcome 
Validation and [URL=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_injection”]Injection issues aside Dave, try this:-
<?php
$configuration = array(
'email.to' => 'you@home.com',
'email.from' => 'you@home.com',
'email.subject' => 'A website enquiry!'
);
if('POST' === $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']){
$message = sprintf(
"
This is a test message:-
Name: %s %s
Email: %s
Thanks.
",
$_POST['name'],
$_POST['secondname'],
$_POST['email']
);
ini_set('sendmail_from', $configuration['email.from'])
if(mail($configuration['email.to'], $configuration['email.subject'], $message, sprintf("%s\\r\
", $configuration['email.from']))){
echo '<h1>Thankyou.</h1>';
exit;
}
}
?>
<h1>
Sorry, an error occured.
</h1>
Make sure the email.from option is an email address registered at your domain. For example, if your domain was example.org, use no-reply@example.org.
Good luck!
Anthony.
Looks like my php form has imploded 
I just cant get it to pink back anything despite adding a sitepoint members
solution see below:
<?php
$to = 'user@domain.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$from = 'email@domain.com';
$message ='';
foreach($_POST as $name => $data)
{
if(is_array($data))
{
foreach($data as $datum)
$message .= $name . ": " . $datum . " \
";
}
else
$message .= $name . ": " . $data . " \
";
}
# Attempt to send email
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $from"))
echo "Mail sent";
else
echo "Mail send failure - message not sent";
?>
Ive got an ugly feeling Ive bitten off more than I can chew. Thanks Mark Anthony for helping me but this form:
http://www.pauserefreshment.co.uk/coffee-machine-brochure-request.html
remains php dead :mad:
Looking at the code I have the disadvantage of knowing nothing about php which means I couldnt even figure out where to put my eMail address to get the info into my inbox.
I’m going back to the drawing board and taking a look at a tutorial in Head first php & My sql book see if i can get it. Seams a bit of a pain when all i want is for this form just to work…
Looking at the code I have the disadvantage of knowing nothing about php which means I couldnt even figure out where to put my eMail address to get the info into my inbox.
So you didn’t replace your email into the code?
<?php
$to = 'your_email_here@domain.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$from = 'email_to_send_from@domain.com';
$message ='';
Just replace the values between the quotes (’ and ') with your email.
Heres some more detail to my problem (no more googling I need a sitepoint member to help me)

Hi from wakefiled UK, v hot & humid…
Ive never done php before & today I tried but failed to get a form to ping back data filled out on a form to my eMail . The form in question is the top url link and screen grab of the form.
I know I have to create a seperate php file and whilst at the mo this is empty. I cleared all previous efforts as they failed miserably I do at least understand it needs a php script behind the form but I’m out of my depth big time:-(
heres the code for the form:

So my question is please…
"How do i begin to get a script to meake all entries ping back to me. Ive covered all sorts of tutorials but no luck
Any insights welcome…
You want to create a script that receives the info from the form, and send an email? Googling gives you lots of tutorials that talk about just that. A good starting point, no?
Unless of course I misunderstood your question.
eh?
Problem fixed - thanks Ant for all your help no doubt i’ll need it again
Basically this form -
http://www.pauserefreshment.co.uk/report.html
now works. The problem lied in SMTP authentication. Thank you again
Resolved
Hi Ant…
Do you mean a semi colon is missing from the current php script which is now this:
<?php
$configuration = array(
'email.to' => 'david@pause.co.uk',
'email.from' => 'you@home.com',
'email.subject' => 'A website enquiry!'
);
if('POST' === $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']){
$message = sprintf(
" This is a test message:-
Name: %s %s
Email: %s
Thanks.
",
$_POST['name'],
$_POST['secondname'],
$_POST['email']
);
ini_set('sendmail_from', $configuration['email.from'])
if(mail($configuration['email.to'], $configuration['email.subject'], $message, sprintf("%s\\r\
", $configuration['email.from']))){ echo '<h1>Thankyou.</h1>'; exit;
}
}
?>
<h1>Sorry, an error occured.</h1>
Please let me know where the semi colon goes
Right - forget everyhing previous in this post. All i need to know please is why when i fill out this form:
http://www.pauserefreshment.co.uk/report.html
I get this error message:

Any insights welcome
Sorry! My fault, it was missing a ;
<?php
$configuration = array(
'email.to' => 'you@home.com',
'email.from' => 'you@home.com',
'email.subject' => 'A website enquiry!'
);
if('POST' === $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']){
$message = sprintf(
"
This is a test message:-
Name: %s %s
Email: %s
Thanks.
",
$_POST['name'],
$_POST['secondname'],
$_POST['email']
);
ini_set('sendmail_from', $configuration['email.from']);
if(mail($configuration['email.to'], $configuration['email.subject'], $message, sprintf("%s\\r\
", $configuration['email.from']))){
echo '<h1>Thankyou.</h1>';
exit;
}
}
?>
<h1>
Sorry, an error occurred.
</h1>
Hi Ant -
At the mo i get this error message:
“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in E:\domains\p\pauserefreshment.co.uk\user\htdocs\brochure.php on line 24”
I’ve corrected the php script to:
<?php
$configuration = array(
'email.to' => 'hello@pause.co.uk',
'email.from' => 'hello@pause.co.uk',
'email.subject' => 'A website enquiry!'
);
if('POST' === $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']){
$message = sprintf(
" This is a test message:-
Name: %s %s
Email: %s
Thanks.
",
$_POST['name'],
$_POST['secondname'],
$_POST['email']
);
ini_set('sendmail_from', $configuration['email.from'])
if(mail($configuration['email.to'], $configuration['email.subject'], $message, sprintf("%s\\r\
", $configuration['email.from']))){ echo '<h1>Thankyou.</h1>'; exit;
}
}
?>
<h1>Sorry, an error occured.</h1>
I also called my hosters and they cant help Its hard to know for me to know where the problem is comming from. There are forms that allready work on the site so the original coders knew something I cant get my head around.
Well I’m not giving up yet but this is testing me big time :mad:
Is this correct if i want it to return info to pauseorders@googlemail.com?
<?php
$to = 'pauseorders@googlemail.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$from = 'email@domain.com';
$message ='';
