Please try to use a title on your thread that gives information about your problem, instead of just "help me" or "need assistance".

You can send forms as an email in pure html like this -

HTML Code:

---

<form action="mailto:someone@example.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
<h2>Example form</h2>
<form action="mailto:example@example.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">
        Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br />
        Email: <input type="text" name="email">
</form>

If you want more functionality you'll need to use a backend scripting language such as PHP to handle form submissions.
