Help with Formmail script.

[-tiGz-]

I downloaded a script which seemed pretty simple.
Edited parts, as instructed but when tested.. the Submit button takes the user to "Hotmail -Compose a new message, to: myemail@hotmail.com"

Why? And how do i fix it, so that the information in the form is sent to my email, and the user is sent to the "thanks.php" page.. as originally intended. :confused:
--------------------
This is the script i am using:

<?
$program = "EZ php Form-Mailer v 1.21"; // do not change

ThankYou.

This forum is Perl, not PHP ...

But it looks like your PHP script has 3 parts to it?

template.php
formmail.php
and the script you provided.

Maybe if you give us a link to your actual form,
we might be able to see something.

or... post your question in the PHP forum.
maybe someone is familiar with your script.

Ah, sorry. Could a moderator possibly move my post to the correct place?

ThankYou.
