Shawn,
So would that look something like this:
<?
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "POST") {

// Just to be safe, I strip out HTML tags
$realname = strip_tags($realname);
$email = strip_tags($email);
$feedback = strip_tags($feedback);

// set the variables
// replace $me@xxxxxxxxxx with your email
$sendto = "$me@xxxxxxxxxx";
$subject = "Sending Email Feedback From My Website";
$message = "$realname, $email\n\n$feedback";

// send the email
mail($sendto, $subject, $message);

}
?>
