You're having problems with the mail functions or something else?

If it's the mail function(s), you'll need to post your code for anyone to be able to help.

to better help you get help from others, you should tell us what errors your getting, if your getting any. just saying "doesnt work" isnt very helpfull to us.

heres the problems i see

$mail =   @mail($to,$_POST['name'],$_POST['message'],$header
s);

thats a parse error. it should be like this

$mail =   mail($to, $_POST['name'], $_POST['message'], $headers);

if you debugging, dont use the @ symbol to suppress errors. you want to see errors because they help you solve your problem.

you also dont check whether the mail() function was successfull or not.

try this

$to = "email@email.com";  
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";

$headers .= "From: ".$_POST['email']."\r\n";  
$mail = mail($to, $_POST['name'], $_POST['message'], $headers);

if ($mail) {
    echo "Thank you, we will get back to you as soon as possible <br /> You sent the following information <br />" . $_POST['name'] . "<br /> " . $_POST['email'] . "<br />" . $_POST['name'] . "<br />"; 
    echo "<a href=\"Form1.php?post=no\">Display the form</a>"; 
    exit;
} else {
    echo 'email didnt send';
}
}
?> 
<form action="Form1.php?post=yes" method="post">
<p>Your name:
   <input type="text" name="name" />

Thanks for your help, I tried what you said everything works (meaning that it shows what information the user input), except it still does not send it (there are no errors what so ever).
