I've just written my first form using HTML by taking a template for a php emailing form from another site. When I enter all the data, though, it just displays the php page instead of executing the script.
<form action="template1.php" method="post">
<p style="padding-top: 5px;" id="form_header">
Fill out variable information below:
</p>
<table width="260px" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td style="padding-top: 14px">
Customer name:
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input name="toName" type="text" size="45" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="padding-top: 14px">
Customer e-mail address:
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input name="toEmail" type="text" size="45" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="padding-top: 14px">
From name:
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input name="fromName" type="text" size="45" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="padding-top: 14px;">
From e-mail address:
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input name="fromEmail" type="text" size="45" value="[email protected]" />

<table id="reason_boxes" width="260px" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
