ok so I have this form:

Code:

<form action="websiteurl/meadowform.php" method="post" id="form" style="margin:0; padding:0 ">
	<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"	
                                         <tr>
                                             <td valign="top" width="206" eight="232">
                                                   <div  style="margin:19 0 0 22px "><img src="images/5_w2.gif" alt=""   border="0" style="margin-left:-9px; margin-bottom:21px "><br>
		<input type="text" style=" width:182px; height:27px" value=" &nbsp;name:"><br><br style="line-height:1px "><input type="text" style=" width:182px; height:27px" value=" &nbsp;e-mail:"><br><br style="line-height:1px "><input type="text" style=" width:182px; height:27px" value=" &nbsp;phone:"><br><br style="line-height:1px "><input type="text" style=" width:182px; height:27px" value=" &nbsp;preference (email or phone):"></div>  
	</td>
	<td valign="top" width="320" height="232">
        <div style=" margin:49 0 0 0px"><textarea  cols="35" rows="35" style="    width:272px; height:117px; overflow:hidden " > &nbsp;How we can help you:</textarea><br><br style="line-height:7px ">
       <img alt="" src="images/spacer.gif" width="150px" height="1px"><a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('form').reset()"><font color="#330000">RESET</font></a><img alt="" src="images/spacer.gif" width="28px" height="1px"><a href="index-ty.htm" onclick="document.getElementById('form').submit()"><font color="#330000">SUBMIT</font></a> 
                                            </div>
					</td>
				</tr>		
			</table>
		</form>

and I've go this script named meadowform:

Code:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
   $message = null;
   foreach($_POST as $k => $v){
    if($k!='submit')
      $message .= "$k: $v\n\n";
     }
   }
   mail('email@companyname.com', 'someone has contacted you from companyname.com', $message);
?>

Now I want to have the script email me (as it does now) when someone hits the submit button, however I would like to include the text fields above (name, email, phone, preference, and comments) in the email that gets sent to me.

Anyone able to help me with what needs to be included in the PHP script to capture the form data and include it in an email to mysef without posting to a DB?

Your code seems to be doing that already:
the lines

Code:

foreach($_POST as $k => $v){
    if($k!='submit')
      $message .= "$k: $v\n\n";
     }

takes each element in the FORM on the previous page, and places it in the message body.
