Can N E one tell me how to create a mail form on an NT server?

I am hating life, I want to try and build a mailform on a NT server *which is totally new to me * and I can't do it, I'm used to using a cgi application on a Unix box.

The NT server has PHP4, could I build a mail form using PHP? I'm not sure what mail program the server is running.

Any help would be awesome!

Do a mailform and use mail() phpfunction would be easyest in my opinion.
Scince I assume you know how to use php I'll just supply a snippet with the relevant code.
This Q should probably be in some other forum dealing with forms though..... How 'bout PHP?

PHP Code:


		
			
 mail("your@mailadress.com", "Subject you want to get", "Message format you want, maybe something like name: $name \n Phone: $phone", "From: [email]bill@gates.com[/email]");

Scince I am so darn nice, here you have the html part aswell....

Code:

<form name="mailform" method="post" action="thepagewithyourmailscript.php">
  <table>
    <tr> 
      <td>Name:</td>
      <td> 
        <input type="text" name="name">
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td>Phone:</td>
      <td> 
        <input type="text" name="phone">
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td colspan="2"> 
        <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Send mail">
      </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>

If the php doesn't work, kick the admin of the NT box.
