    Hi,

    Its probably something to do with your mail.php file. Have you edited it to email the input to your email address?

    If you are not sure you could post the mail.php content here and someone might be able to give you a better idea as to what you've done wrong.

    Cheers

      Do you have a database like MySql? Or do you just want the emails emailed to you?

      Create a 'email.txt' file and change it's permission to writable.
      Place this script in mail.php

      -----------------------------------------------------------------------
      <?php
      $fp = fopen('email.txt','r+');
      if(!$fp)
      {
      echo "Create the file first.";
      }else{
      $present = FALSE;
      while (!feof($fp))
      {
      $email = fgets($fp);
      if ($_POST['email'] == trim($email)){
      $present = TRUE;
      }
      }
      if (!$present){
      fwrite($fp, $_POST['email']."\n");
      echo "Email :".$email.' added.';
      }
      fclose($fp);
      }
      ?>
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------

      The only assumption in this script is that it expects 'email' in a post request.Make sure it receives one or edit the script to your needs.

      The emails are stored in the 'email.txt' file you just created.
      Let me know if you have a problem.
