Jump to PostYou can perform a redirect to a "success.php" page or turn to an error page. You can do this with header():
$to = 'nobody@example.com'; $subject = 'the subject'; $message = 'hello'; $headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); …

no not your gmail account, what im trying to say is you need a working SMTP for you to be able to send mail, if im correct you already had a working mail system? http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/threads/438404/image-will-not-display-and-html-tags-display
as you already received it in your email

hmm... I may have it SMTP working... can you go over the installation of it, I mean I could use my form to send emails to me and the user but that probably doesn't have to do with what SMTP does...
