how do i make the form point to the email.php file? is it in the action part?

right now I have:

\<form name=“emailForm” method=“post” action=“email.php”\>

also, i have a name, subject, email, and message fields all labled “name, subject, email, message” respectively. that should work with the code you gave me, correct?
