DW CS5, Sending contact form results to email with page redirection using php script

Question

I am currently building a site from scratch with Dreamweaver, with the intent of replacing my current website layout that was designed using Intuit's website builder. My dreamweaver site is not online, but i have setup a local test server on my computer, using XAMPP, and i have an apache server with a MySQL database and a mercury mailserver running. I mention that in case it makes a difference in your answers. If necessary, I can include those settings, but that may be asking too much.
I have an html contact form for users to schedule service appointments. I need the resulting actioned php file to do the following after submit is clicked: verify certain fields have been entered; prevent spammers or verify human visitors; send the form results to a (hidden from public view of any kind) email address; redirect user to a confirmation page, or an error page.
I found the following code but being less than a newbie im not sure what needs to be changed, or if its even the right script i should be using:
5 <?php
6 $email = $_POST['email'];
7 $mailto = '[email protected]';
8 $mailsubj = 'You Have a Service Request';
9 $url = '/MyLandingPage.html';
10 $req = '0';
11 $mailbody = "Results from form:\r\n";
12 $space = ' ';
13 $line = '
14 ';
15 foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
16 {
17 if ($req == '1')
18 {
19 if ($value == '')
20 {echo "$key is empty";die;}
21 }
22 $j = strlen($key);
23 if ($j >= 20)
24 {echo "Name of form element $key cannot be longer than 20 characters";die;}
25 $j = 20 - $j;
26 for ($i = 1; $i <= $j; $i++)
27 {$space .= ' ';}
28 $value = str_replace('\r\n', "$line", $value);
29 $conc = "{$key}:$space{$value}$line";
30 $text .= $conc;
31 $space = ' ';
32 }
33 mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From: '.$emailadd.'');
34 echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">';
35 ?>
Can anyone please illuminate me on what I need?
Thank You in advance

You are doing this with your local testing server, is it set up to email?
