Hi Navaldesign, I am Still non the wiser?? Below is the script I have uploaded. What Have I done Wrong??
HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Succesfully processed your booking</TITLE>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<h1 class="style1">Thank you for your booking!</h1>
<p class="style1"><img src="../photos/DSCF0615%20(718%20x%20246).jpg" width="718" height="246"> </p>
<h1 class="style1">We will be in touch soon. </h1>
<?PHP
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
$mailto = "ifo@flynnphotography.co.uk";
$mailsubj = "BOOKING";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);

Hold on 5 mins. I'll come back with full instructions

<?PHP
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
$mailto = "youremail address";
$mailsubj = "New Order";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
header("Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/thankyou_page.html");
?>

Copy this code, paste it in Notepad. Go to "Save as" , choose for "File type" "All files" and save it with the same name that you used till now, f.e. "feedback.php". Upload it on your site using Blue FTP. For the thankyou page, create and publish a normal BV page, save it as "thankyou_page" and publish it. You're done.

Of course you can change the subject "New Order" to be as you like it, and you can also change the first line of the body, from "Values submitted....." in whatever you want. Change your email and the "yourdomain.com". Please also note that the email field in your form must be named "email". Upload the URL of your form so i can have a look. Please also note that you have probably mistaken your email address : shouldn't that be info ? because in the script you have "ifo". Maybe that was all your problem. Also try, if it doesn't work, to set the encoding type to "multipart/form data"
