    What error are you receiving? We should start by finding out what you are looking to resolve. Thanks!

    your code has a few errors:

    
<?php

$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$mail=$_POST['message'];

/****     either needs to be commented out or echo'd   ****/
echo "Name:$name\n";
echo "Email:$email\n";
echo "Message:$mail\n";


//to, message, header
mail('me@myemail.com',"$mail",'From:'. $name.'<'.$email.'>');
header('location: http://www.mywebsite');// forgot the semi colon ;

?>
    PHP:

    That's all I see at the moment

    Your code wont work either.. You can not modify header once the output started. So you can not echo anything (even a white space) if you want to modify your header somewhere later in the script.

    This should work:
    
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$mail = $_POST['message'];

//to, message, header
mail('me@myemail.com',"$mail",'From:'. $name.'<'.$email.'>');
header('location: http://www.mywebsite');
?>
