I'm not familiar with that particular script, but it seems to me that a PHP script does not need to be part of the cgi-bin. I think you may be confusing a cgi script with the PHP. Most run from root.

Anyway, if you are receiving a blank email, you simply haven't added the message to be included as the part of the email and/or the variable for the message has not been set.
