Hi, I´m Kind of new trying to add a contact form to a Web Page, I don´t know too much about programming so I tried to make it using this kirupa´s tutorial:

[http://www.kirupa.com/web/php\_contact\_form4.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/web/php_contact_form4.htm)

I understood it and followed every step, I uploaded the files I´ve generated to the site and I made some tests, in the browser (Safari), When I Click Submit, in the contact.html file, appears the mailer.php file with the next message:

“Data has been submitted to [christian8513@hotmail.com](mailto:christian8513@hotmail.com)!  
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: “sendmail\_from” not set in php.ini or custom “From:” header missing in I:\FerozoWebHosting\celltrack.com.mx\public\_html\mailer.php on line 19”

So I think something’s wrong because i´ve tried with a pair of e-mail adresses in the code and nothing happened, haven’t received nothing, I hope someone can help me, the codes used are these:

FOR THE CONTACT FILE
