make two pages:
submission.html:

Code:

<html>
  <form action="mail.php" method="post">
    <!-- For as many fields you need, just make sure the name is appropriate -->
    <input name="name">
    
    <!-- the submit button -->
    <input value="Submit" type="Submit">
  </form>
</html>

and a mail.php page:

Code:

<?
  //for each posted varible
  $variblename=$_POST['namefromform'];

  //construct a message:
  $message= "$varible1 blah blah blah formatting how you want a \n makes a <br>";

  //email to send to
  $to= "whoever@whereever.com";
  
  //send the message
  mail($to,"The sender",$message,"from whoever")
?>

<!-- Any HTML code to display a "got mail" page -->

let me know if this doesnt make sence / you need more.

be aware that you will need a PHP with is a service-side processing language that you will need on the server hosting the submission form.

Yeah, most servers (pay-for) include PHP support.
I'm assuming he is using a PHP supported server?

If he doesnt have PHP There are CGI/perl scripts and such to do this... but they arent quite as striaght forward to install on remote servers normally.

I know, that page is just an example, you can put as many as you want, just configure the .cgi file according to the instructions....here's another page that I used that script on, just to show you how easy it can be done: http://www.goldleafgroup.com/about.htm
