If I understand you correctly, you want all the information people enter in that form sent to a certain email address.

If so, what you do is submit that form to a PHP script. then in that scrip use the function mail() which you can checkout at php.net to see how to use it. Though make sure your smtp server accepts message from your web server

Sorry i am a total noob trying to learn php can you tell me what to do in a process page and do i need to do anything to the form page aswell

I have not run you form page so i don't know if you need to add anything to it. Assuming that you have everything you need on your page, in your submitted form page, use the mail() function and send all the information you acquire from the user to your self. Is this clear enough now??
