Sure thing...

Nothing too fancy, it's just a simple form that passes POST vars to
itself...  Make sure you change the action attribute on the form to the
URL of the page.  I can't remember exactly, but using PHP_SELF didn't
work IIRC, but I might be lying...  There's a bit of javascript to
restrict the length of a phone message too, but it's not too interesting
for most people I think, so I removed it.  Mail me offline if you want
that too...

Hope this helps!

Jamie.

<?php

if ($_POST['jt_send'])
{
  $name = $_POST['jt_name'];
  $from = $_POST['jt_address'];
  $message = $_POST['jt_message'];

  if ($_POST['jt_mode'] == "phone")
  {
    $to = "myphone at myemail.address";

  else

    $to = "regularemail at myemail.address";
  }

  $headers = "From: $from";
  if (isset($_POST['jt_cc'])) $headers .= "\nCC: $from\n";

  if (mail($to, "Message from $name (jamietalbot.com)", $message,
$headers) == 1)
