There is the mail() function in PHP
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php>

This is a simple script to mail the contents of your form back to 
yourself would
be:

<?php
   $to = 'youremail at your.domain.com';
   $subject = 'Order form contents';
   $headers = 'From: orderform at your.domain.com';
   $body = print_r($_POST,true); // assumes that you are using the POST method
   mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
?>

I have no error checking in the script and I haven't checked it for syntax
errors.
