You can make a normal html form with as action a php file, in the php file it sends than an emaik.

file.html

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>

<form action="sendmail.php" method="post" name="form1" target="_self" id="form1">

<input name="yourform" type="text" value="form" size="18" />
<!-- Other form elements come here -->

	<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" /> <input name="reset" type="reset" value="Reset" />

</form>
</body>
</html>

your php file, which has to be the same name as the action: sendmail.php can look like this

PHP Code:


			
<?php
$address = 'mail_acount_to receive@host.com';
$success = 'succes.php';

if( isset($_POST) )
{
    $headers = "From: Mail <email_sender@host.com>";
    $send_to = $email;
    $content = '';
    
    foreach( $_POST as $name => $value )
    {
        $content .= "$name: $value\n";
    }
    
    mail($address,'Email !',$content,$headers);
    header("Location: $success");
}
?>

if your mail has been sended you visitors wil come to succes.php
all values from your form are sended in the mail.

Hope this helped :/
ps. it s not possible to send mails with html, you will need another language for it, php is the perfect solution.
