send email

how to send email automaticly to admin when users send a form....example...a booking form..therefore the admin will alert of the booking...Help me,bro...

you must have some sort of trigger for recognizing when the form has been sent, which consequently starts the booking routine.
at the end of that routine (after booking has done), place the mail() function call, e.g.:

if(isset($_POST['submit_button_name']))
{
  // validate booking data
  // if ok, do the booking
  // then, send the notification mail:
  $subject = "Something was booked";
  $text = "item no $_POST['item_no'] has been booked by $current_user ... fyi.";
  mail("[e-mail]", $subject, $text);
}
