Viola. Then press CTRL+S to save it as... promote.php
Then add to your site. That easy! Also the user will be notified by PM if they have been promoted (to mod or admin).

Because the $_POST['user']; is where you promote the user so $_POST['user']; is same as $admin which goes to $to so it knows who to send it to!

What's the point of $to, as it's the SAME thing as $admin.
