Hi guys, I'm looking for a little help here. I'm trying to create my first website and I want to add a form to collect e-mails. I found a good guide that explained the html part and I think I have that down. Here's basically what I'm going to use:

    <FORM ACTION="formmail.php" METHOD="POST">

    Name: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Name" VALUE="" SIZE="25" MAXLENGTH="50"> <BR>

    Email: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Email" VALUE="" SIZE="25" MAXLENGTH="50"><BR>

    <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="submit" VALUE="Sign Me Up!">

    </FORM>

After that I'm pretty much clueless since I don't know a thing about php. All I know is I want to add a sign up and I want to use it to automatically collect e-mails that I can efficiently use for mass mailings. Any help is appreciated.

I have a tutorial on the basics here, if you want to take a look:

Even though it's not a necessity (and slightly off topic here), it's considered a best practice to write all your HTML in lower case and also to add a trailing slash to your self enclosing tags like:

<br />

and 

<input type="text" name="first_name" />
