PHP form with FREE hosting acount ????

I have set up my first test PHP. form, the domain is arbico.awardspace.com



The setting for the mail path is this, is everything correct??



I have a free acount...



Sendmail path /usr/sbin/sendmail (SMTP is disabled for your hosting account)



I first set up my form feedback page witht he following HTML code on it:



%26lt;form method=%26quot;post%26quot; action=%26quot;sendmail.php%26quot;%26gt;



Email: %26lt;input name=%26quot;email%26quot; type=%26quot;text%26quot; /%26gt;



Message:



%26lt;textarea name=%26quot;message%26quot; rows=%26quot;15%26quot; cols=%26quot;40%26quot;%26gt;



%26lt;/textarea%26gt;



%26lt;input type=%26quot;submit%26quot; /%26gt;



%26lt;/form%26gt;



Then I made a notepad called %26quot;sendmail.php%26quot; and i set the form up to send it to my email address and then go thorugh to google. Here is the code I put into the notepad;



%26lt;?php



$email = $_REQUEST[%26#039;email%26#039;] ;



$message = $_REQUEST[%26#039;message%26#039;] ;



mail( %26quot;bentonere06@googlemail.com%26quot;, %26quot;Feedback Form Results%26quot;,



$message, %26quot;From: $email%26quot; );



header( %26quot;Location: http://www.google.com%26quot; );



?%26gt;



Everything seems to work well on it but i%26#039;m just NOT revieing any email ??

Try changing



$email = $_REQUEST[%26#039;email%26#039;] ;



$message = $_REQUEST[%26#039;message%26#039;] ;



to



$email = $_POST[%26#039;email%26#039;] ;



$message = $_POST[%26#039;message%26#039;] ;



since the form method is post - %26lt;form method=%26quot;post%26quot;%26gt;



I can%26#039;t say for sure if that%26#039;s the problem, but that%26#039;s how my email forms have always been coded and it%26#039;s worth a shot. Good luck!
