I have some simple Blah:
<html>
<body>


<form name="type" action="">
First Name:

<input type="text" name="firstname">


Last Name:

<input type="text" name="lastname">




What kind computer user do you consider yourself?



Casual User


<input type="checkbox" name="cas" value="Casual User">


Developer


<input type="checkbox" name="dev" value="Developer">


Gamer


<input type="checkbox" name="gam" value="Gamer">


Business


<input type="checkbox" name="bus" value="Business">


Enthusiast


<input type="checkbox" name="ent" value="Enthusiast">


<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form

What I need from this blah is the PHP that automatically sends an email to my email when they click submit without having to login to their email and all that crap. I was thinking if I could make the website somehow send it so when i get the email with the email it has the websites ip address or I could just make an email for it to use. Not really sure what to do here.

Pretty sure mail() is a function... (http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php)
let's assume the file is named mailme.php

<html>
<body>
<?php
if (@$_POST["firstname"]!=""){
$type="";
if (@$_POST["cas"]) $type.="Casual user,";
if (@$_POST["bus"]) $type.="Buisness,";
if (@$_POST["dev"]) $type.="Developer,";
if (@$_POST["gam"]) $type.="Gamer,";
if (@$_POST["ent"]) $type.="Enthusiast";

$msg="Name:". $_POST['firstname']." ".$_POST["lastname"]."
Type: ".$type;
mail("[email protected]","Survey from ".$_POST['firstname']." ".$_POST["lastname"],$msg);
echo "Sent!";
}
?>
<form name="type" method="POST" action="mailme.php">
First Name:

<input type="text" name="firstname">


Last Name:

<input type="text" name="lastname">

No field validation, not tested, gtg.
OK, tested, should work. Not the most efficient, but I think it's as efficient as it needs to be (and making it any more efficient would make it more complicated). And amazing that it functioned when I wrote it in ~5 minutes flat between periods.
