use mysql database and query INSERT INTO

to put it into your database, you can have many if/else statements on success statements..

how you want to insert/update it into the mysql database

 

there are many tutorials explaining how to query and insert values into a mysql database

especially on the subject of form processing, google it and look in phpfreaks tuts

 

if you have questions or problems specifically with the code, after you've tried or compiled something together, let us know :)

 

*edit woops i misread what you were looking to do, ignore this

This is useful link to send an email. I have a problem though. The problem so far is I can't send to hotmail's users. Hotmail takes those emails as spam. Their SpamFilter is very strong.

 

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,131516.0.html

 

I have been trying to figure out to send emails too, but got no result so far. Take a look at the thread and read it. It is useful.
