Tips & Warnings
The form to e-mail PHP script you use can dramatically impact the capabilities and flexibility of your e-mail form. Basic form to e-mail PHP scripts are easy to configure but are limited in their ability to reduce spam and send complex information. If you would like an advanced e-mail form, it will only require finding a more advanced PHP script.

I wonder why no one has commented on this tutorial. Could it be because it's awful? I created one years ago but needed a refresher and this was absolutely no help!
