complete newbie in this.
a guy sent me a code for a contact form. the form looks nice, however it is not functioning(pressing submit does nothing). I guessed that the relevant section from the whole code is the one I pasted below.
how do I turn this into a working form?
<!-- Content -->
<div id="main">
<div class="wrapper cf">
<div class="content contact-block cf">
<h2><i>Contact</i> Us</h2>
<div class="sidebar-form cf">
<div class="row"><input id="firstname" type="text" name="fname" value="" placeholder="FIRST NAME" /></div>
<div class="row"><input id="lastname" type="text" name="lname" value="" placeholder="LAST NAME" /></div>
<div class="row"><input id="email" type="text" name="email" value="" placeholder="EMAIL ADDRESS" /></div>

This is the contactengine.php file
<?php
$EmailFrom = "mymail#gmail.com";
$EmailTo = "mymail#gmail.com";
$Subject = "Nice & Simple Contact Form by CSS-Tricks";
$fname = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['fname']));
$lname = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['lname']));
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email']));
$order = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['order']));
$subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['subject']));
$comments = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['comments']));
// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
exit;
}
// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $fname;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Tel: ";
$Body .= $lname;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "order: ";
$Body .= $order;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "subject: ";
$Body .= $subject;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "comments: ";
$Body .= $comments;
$Body .= "\n";
// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");
// redirect to success page
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contactthanks.php\">";
}
else{
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
}
