Initiate Php Mail

[mwbarry]

I am trying to make a contact form that will be emailed to the site owner. How do I initiate the php mail script when a link is clicked? As of now the mail is sent when the page is loaded and when i click the send link there is an error that mail() is undefined, but how do I call the script onclick? html

 <div id="contactboxinfo">	  <input type="text" name="first name" value="First Name" class="box" />	  <input type="text" name="last name" value="Last Name" class="box" />	  <br />	  <input type="text" name="email address" value="Email Address" class="box" />	  <input type="text" name="phone number" value="Phone Number" class="box" />	  <br />      <a href="#" onclick="mail()"><img src="sendbutton.png" alt="sendbutton" /></a></div>

php

<?php $to = "owner@gmail.com";$subject = "test mail";$txt = "did it work?";$headers = "From: me@localhost.com";mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);?>

secondly, how would I go about calling the inputs into the message body?

PHP is not Javascript. It runs before the page loads and then stops running. You should have a special PHP file that sends mail, and to prevent it from sending automatically when the page opens, check that a POST value was passed from a form.Check the W3Schools PHP tutorial and learn some PHP first, then look up how to send mail
