If you could be a little more specific than its "not working" I could help you. In the mean time, you can have a look at this tutorial mail() function

Thanks for the tut, but i already know how to use the mail function.
The problem is that the mail form isnt showing in the page, its not that is not included well, its that something is wrong with the script because it wont open if i open mailform.php in my browser.

Well you kind of have me confused how you posted your code. Which code is mainform.php and which order.php?

Also, its better to use the isset() function to test if variables are empty/nonempty. So a better way would be to do

PHP Code:
if (!isset($name)) {
include "mailform.php";
echo "Please write your contact name\n";
} 
And as a side note, I usually like to do form validation in JavaScript, it saves a lot submissions/checks/redirects.

Oh well I think the problem is, your including mailform.php infinity times.

Essentially what happens is
1) You load mailform.php
2) It checks and sees that $name == ""
3) Loads mailform.php
4) It checks and sees that $name == ""
5) Loads mailform.php again
6) It checks and sees that $name == ""
7) Loads mailform.php again
and so on

Until the max amount of memory for php is reached and it then fails
