I just thought I would post a simple form mail script that will give people a basic idea of how PHP mail works, and along with that basic examples of if/else statements and passing query string.

Hope this helps a few folks. This forum doesn't necessarily hold all the best formatting (tabs and spaces) but it will give an idea of how PHPmail works...hopefully.
