Tel: $tel <br>
Email: $email <br>
Address: $address <br>
Message: $message <br>

but when i used wampserver it responded fine but showed an error comment before the confirmation text.

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 255, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\site\form_mailer.php on line 55

yawa-ti-de:
^^^ he he, maybe i need to start purposely arriving at posts late. By then, the problem will be resolved
