This is a simple script I copied from a book to create a form, then mail it to an address.
I cant get it too wok and wonder if its the script or my server. I even copied the source form the publishers website and it still wont work.
Basically all it should do is show a form, error check it and then send it.
Can anyone tell me what maybe wrong with it or if its maybe just my server setup.
