You will need 2 files. One will be a HTML page with a form on it. The other file will be pure php script that will phase the information from the HTML formant send it to you as an E-Mail.
Once the Form has been submitted a "Thanks we have your Message" message will appear to give the user feedback that the form has been accepted. The form will also clear itself ready for a new massage.
This is your form page. You can call it what ever you want. In this example I call this file index.php
This is your php script. Saved as mail_form.php
And here is the example link:
