Please can anyone guide me with a step by step process? i am new to PHP.

Did you search this forum? There should be plenty discussion threads about GMail/PHPMailer and authentication.

How do you relate the form fields with the script? it would be kind of you if you show me an alternative other than PEAR

I saw the code and just download the PEAR package! I have it on my computer. I used it sometimes. It's very useful! You can just google to find another alternative with PHP mail SMTP or you can used the one from that site. It's like a regular email form!

              <li>
                <label for="name">First Name <span class="red">*</span></label>
                <input id="name" name="name" class="text" />
              </li><br/>
              <li>
                <label for="email">Your email <span class="red">*</span></label>
                <input id="email" name="email" class="text" />
              </li><br/>
              <li>
                <label for="message">Message <span class="red">*</span></label>
                <textarea id="message" name="msg" rows="6" cols="50"></textarea>
              </li>
              <li class="buttons">
                <input type="image" name="imageField" id="imageField" src="images/send.gif" class="send" />
                <div class="clr"></div>
