You missed a quote:

change:
echo"<form action=\"POST\" form method=\"contact.php\">;

to:
echo"<form action=\"POST\" form method=\"contact.php\">";

Not sure what you mean by this:
In would like to know what to do for the comments to be sent to me when made by my site visitors?

Hello Justin,
Thank you so very much for your assistance.
If you would go to my site and try to post on the "feedback.php" page, when you "submit the post; you will get an error message, unless this fix has changed it.

If it is correctly done, where are the messages going so that I may read them? Let me hear from you again.

You do not show enough of the script for anyone to be able to give you a definitive answer to "where is the info going".

Justin,
I will give you the entire script. Please see if you can tell me what to do and where to find the information that may be left by visitors.

All this page does is gathers information, checks to make sure everything required is included, then sends it to a file called /contact.php...

Don't know anything about our file contact.php.

If you are new to form mail (I am guessing) I would recommend searching for 'formmail script' or 'formmail handling'. You can usually find not only something to handle your forms, but most of them come with instructions for installing them. (I have personally used one called 'Jack's formmail' before and been very happy with the results.

Hope this helps.

Justin
