How do I use PHP for a mailing list?

[mqw421]

Im using PHP to allow people to sign up for my mailing list on my site. I have everything set up but for some reason when I click the submit button the information is not being sent to my email address. Im not very good with PHP I just took some online tutorials and tried to figure it out. If you can tell me what I need to do that would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I need help with this code. Its not working. Please someone tell me why. It won't submit the information. Or maybe im just not sure how to retrieve it.

<form action="mail.php" method="post">
Your Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
E-mail: <input type="text" name = "email"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

<?
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$comments=$_POST['comments'];
$to="[e-mail]";
$message="$name just filled in your comments form. They said:\n$comments\n\nTheir e-mail address was: $email";
if(mail($to,"Comments From Your Site",$message,"From: $email\n")) {
echo "Thanks for your comments.";
} else {
echo "There was a problem sending the mail. Please check that you filled in the form correctly.";
}
?>
