For openers, you have to open php.ini, look for the email section and put in your SMTP server's address (the one your ISP uses). Without that (or if the line is commented out), PHP won't send email.

Oh - and you have to install PHP. If we can go to a php page and see the text, you don't have PHP installed. (Just go to http://windows.php.net/download/ and download the one you need (the non-thread version is kind of universal if you're running on a Windows box).

Use Firefox to debug it. Add the Firebug and FirePHP add-ons to make it easier.
