simple php mail me

[g_force]

For some reason I'm having trouble getting a simple php form to mail me some data. Here is what I was using but have since been told that it isn't practical and needs updating:

<script language="php"> 
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email]; 
$mailto = "my.email@myhost.com"; 
$mailsubj = "Title"; 
$mailhead = "From: $email\n"; 
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS); 
$mailbody = "Data received:\n"; 
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { $mailbody .= "$key : $val\n"; } 
if (!eregi("\n",$HTTP_POST_VARS[email])) { mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead); } 
</script> 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

++ don't be put off by my lack of thanks - I don't know how to give it// but thanks anyway

Well, you really should use $_POST instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS, of course, I don't know what that is - (I assume its the same). And also use mail headers, learn a bit more here:
http://php.net/mail
The "Thank you" button is write under a user's post next the Quote, and other buttons, it looks some like the button below(this one isn't the clickable one).

Yeah. Nile's right. Use the $_POST variable. Also, that site he gave you is REALLY good. There is also this one site, W3Schools, that has an okay PHP e-mail script. Here it is: PHP E-mail. Here is the secure form: PHP Secure E-mail
