just a little help

I dont want to take much of your time, I am just learning php, with no teacher and few resources. I am trying to get the info from a form and email it to myself. I have the mail() function sending my the name of the form but i cannot get the infomation. How do I compile this info so I can send it to myself. If this is real basic and obvious you can just slap me now. Thanks -- christy smith Web Editor, The Herald Journal webmaster@hjnews.com
