You may have to show a bit of the PHP code to help you completely. But the basic idea is that you call the mail() function within your php script.

I sqirmed after the 4th word "swf contact form".

Depending on what language you're using - all of which will have functionality to send a simple email:
  • Sanitise/validate theusers emails address
  • Pass that email to the function/code that sends email.



E.g. in PHP you call the mail() function where you can pass the function a different email address.

Purely out of interest, why would anyone in this day and age use an "swf contact form" - there's abolsutely zero benefit to it.

Maybe they haven't been exposed to all the sexy lil jquery libraries floating around. :p
