I'm assuming you already know HTML. You need to check out tutorials on PHP.

yah i know html but i think what my main problem currently is is that i can not find a web hosting site that:

- free
- totally ad free
- allows php
- allows mail/sendmail commands

All the free hosts I know don't allow sendmail, for obvious reasons (i.e. spammers abusing it).

But AwardSpace (http://www.awardspace.com/) is a free webhost that is ad-free and supports PHP. Best free host I've used so far.

Are you sure mail is not blocked on the host you are using?

I'm using that site u said... So idk so if I just pay for a site like yahoo or this award one you said then will I be able to sendmail? Is sendmail just blocked on free webhosts? To solve this problem do i just need to pay?

I said that "All the free hosts I know don't allow sendmail", AwardSpace included. AwardSpace doesn't allow sendmail.

If you want to send mail, you will probably have to get paid hosting.
