You'll probably be able to find one at Hotscripts.com :: The net's largest PHP, CGI, Perl, JavaScript and ASP script collection and resource web portal - rather than me just finding and linking specifically to one, I thought I'd give you a wide choice.

Couldn't you just make a form in HTML though?
Im in the same boat as you, limited PHP knowledge, and a good HTML one, but you can make everything you need in HTML, its just a little limited

Lightbulb Contact Form

One of the easiest ways to insert a Contact form, that I'm experienced with, is with FormLogix. (FormLogix Free Form Builder - create free web forms,email forms and web databases).

There, you design your Form and insert the script into your web page (yes, it validates through W3C).

I have build many types of forms, for both myself and clients, using FormLogix and their service is great. Its free, doesn't insert banner ads into the form, and you have complete control of its content.

Sample Forms using FormLogix
Here is a form, using FormLogix, I have on my website: cityPCservice - Web Mail
Here is a more sophisticated and advanced form I build for a client: Aaronbuyshomes.com - Submit Your Home

If you wish to use FormLogix to build your contact form, play with the controls for a bit, explore it, and in no time you will have it mastered. You can do it! Feel free to ask any questions.

The big difference between HTML form and PHP ones is that to submit an HTML one uses the clients email package, if they have one. Many users are put off by this thinking that it is a security risk. By using PHP, the info is processed by the server, it just looks nicer and more professional.

A basic but easy to follow tutorial for PHP is on TIZAG.
