help with mailing form

[ekhemanth]

Hi guys,

 I am new to PHP as well as this forum. I am good at ASP (but my school has linux box runing). Currently I am stuck with a project in which I have an HTML page with around 200 text boxes in a single form.

When I click the submit button, the html page will send the data to a PHP page. The PHP page displays the values of the text boxes in a properly formatted table and emails the formatted page to an email id, which is provided (in the code).

The thing, is I hav finished the code for displaying the formatted page, but I don't know how to do that email coding. I want the email in HTML format.

Can somebody help me

bye

on linux mail doesnt use an smtp server it uses a mail transfer agent like qmail or sendmail.
