PHP: Tell A Friend Script (very basic)

This is a form which a user can fill in if they find your site interesting. (very basic)

Code:

<The Form>

<form action="" method="POST">

<fieldset>

<legend>Tell a friend</legend><br />

Your email<br />

<input type="text" name="your_email" value="Your email" /><br /><br />

Your Friends email<br />

<input type="text" name="friend_email" value="Your friends email" />

<input type="Submit" value="Tell a friend" name="Submit" />

</fieldset>

</form>

Code:

<PHP Script>

if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {

// This will check to see if the form has been submitted

$senders_email = $_POST['your_email'];

// The person who is submitting the form

$recipient_friend = $_POST['friend_email'];

// The forms recipient

mail($recipient_friend,"A message from $senders_email", "Dear $recipient_friend,\n\nYour friend $senders_email, found our site very useful, and thought you would be interested.\n\nPlease follow the link to view our site:\nhttp://www.your_sites_address.com\n\nThank You\n\nThe your_sites_address.com", 'From: "your_site" <your_email.com>');

Your page should be set up like this

Code:

<?php

if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {

// This will check to see if the form has been submitted

$senders_email = $_POST['your_email'];

// The person who is submitting the form

$recipient_friend = $_POST['friend_email'];

// The forms recipient

mail($recipient_friend,"A message from $senders_email", "Dear $recipient_friend,\n\nYour friend $senders_email, found our site very useful, and thought you would be interested.\n\nPlease follow the link to view our site:\nhttp://www.your_sites_address.com\n\nThank You\n\nThe your_sites_address.com", 'From: "your_site" <your_email.com>');



if (isset($_POST['your_email'])) {

echo "<br>Your friend $recipient_friend has been contacted <br><br>Thank you $senders_email";

}}

?>



<form action="" method="POST">

<fieldset>

<legend>Tell a friend</legend><br />

Your email<br />

<input type="text" name="your_email" value="Your email" /><br /><br />

Your Friends email<br />

<input type="text" name="friend_email" value="Your friends email" />

<input type="Submit" value="Tell a friend" name="Submit" />

</fieldset>

</form>

Does anybody know how to implement in this form <textarea> ?
I want to use fallowing java-script code which automatically fills textarea with full page url nad I need for that a textarea with ID="message", but I am new in php :(

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var message = 'I thought that you would find this information very useful: ' + document.URL;
$('#message').text(message);
});
</script>

Thank you in advance!
