Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\sendeail.php on line 59

Any ideas? I get this error when someone uses my PHP email form on my website.

PHP needs to be configured to use an SMTP server in order to send emails. WAMP does not come with a mail server.

I tend to use my ISP's smtp server for sending emails as I only use wamp for testing/development purposes. NOTE: the standard mail() function will not work with SMTP servers which require authentication. Instead you'll need to use an alternative such as PHPMailer -> [phpmailer.worxware.com]
