    copied!<p>I've seen some other posts on this, and I'm learning from a book right now. I've followed what the book said and I'm not understanding what I'm missing. </p> <p>I tried not to make it a double post, but the codes are quite different from the ones I read on stackoverflow so here I go. I hope someone can help me. I am a complete beginner.</p> <p>My <code>Basic.php</code> has this script</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="sendmail.php" method="POST"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Name:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" size="25" name="name" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;E-Mail Address:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;input type="text" size="25" name="email" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Message:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="5"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;input type="submit" value="send" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>My <code>sendmail.php</code> has this script.</p> <pre><code>echo "&lt;p&gt;Thank you, &lt;b&gt;" . $_POST['name'] . "&lt;/b&gt;, for your message!&lt;/p&gt;"; echo "&lt;p&gt;Your e-mail address is: &lt;b&gt;" . $_POST['email'] .

"\n"; $msg .= "E-mail: " . $_POST['email'] . "\n"; $msg .= "Message: " . $_POST['message'] . "\n"; //set up the mail $recipient = "myemail@gmail.com"; $subject = "Form Submission Results"; $mailheaders = "From: me \n"; $mailheaders .= "Reply To " . $_POST['email']; //send the mail mail($recipient, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders); </code></pre> <p>And here is my <code>php.ini</code> that I've changed (this part I have no clue about).</p> <pre><code>[mail function] ; For Win32 only. ; http://php.net/smtp SMTP = smtp.gmail.com ; http://php.net/smtp-port smtp_port = 465 ; For Win32 only. ; http://php.net/sendmail-from sendmail_from = myemail@gmail.com </code></pre> <p>I'd appreciate any help I can get.
