Previously, Trypt bashed *something* on the keyboard to form:
> Hi, I made a bunch of forms in dreamweaver, and created a basic php

>
> <?
> $Name=$_POST['Name'];
> $Email=$_POST['Email'];
> $Comments=$_POST['Message'];
> $to="contact@webhost.com";
> $message="$Name just filled in your contact form. Message
> was:\n$Message\n\nTheir E-Mail address was: $Email";
> if(mail($to,"Comments From Your Site",$message,"From: $Email\n")) {
> echo "Your message was delivered successfully. Please use the back
> button of your browser to return to Webhost.";
> } else {
> echo "There was a problem sending the mail. Please check that you filled
> in the form correctly.";
> }
> ?>
>
> It works fine, it send a message to my email (i changed the email in the
> script, the one thats showing is just a generic email).

>
> I really don't want the user to have to push the back button, and on top

> Here is what I would like to add to this script if it is possible:

> A. Instead of the echo message above, just something simple like:

Call your send message script from inside how your site is layed out ...
<?php include "inc/header0_l0.php"; ?>
<?php include "inc/header1_l0.php"; ?>
<?PHP include "*send mail form script*"; ?>
<?php include "inc/footer0_l0.php"; ?>
and set the form action to this new page ...
if you dont use includes to call the headers and such put
<normal bollox>
<body>
<?PHP include "*send mail form script*"; ?>
</body>
</html>
