 * Help!!!
 * I’ve been scouring this forum and Google for half a day and I give up!
 * I essentially want to have a contact form on a page and when you press “Submit”,
   to call a script.php somewhere. I do not want php code to execute when the page
   _loads_ (like an echo, ext) I want to use a form to post variables to a php script
   and then use mail().
 * Can anyone explain how to do this?????
    I’ve tried: Placing the code in the page
   template. Getting various plugins exec-php, ext.
 * It always says it cannot find the script.
 * All I want to do is run a mail script.
