If you give me a little more info i will try to help

If you are just looking for a form processor that send you the info once filled out, that is easy.

Try this. Insert this in between your <body> tags:
<form method="post" name="feedback" action="feedback.php">
Name:<br>
<input type="text" class="text" name="Name" maxlength="50" width="30" size="20"><br>
E-mail:<br>
<input type="text" class="text" name="Email" maxlength="50" width="30" size="20"><br>
Comments:<br>
<textarea cols="30" rows="6" class="text" name="Comments"></textarea><br><br>
<input class="submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
And make a new file called "feedback.php" and make sure its in the same dir as your form:
<?PHP

$subject = "Feedback";
$headers = "From: Form Mailer";
$forward = 1;
$location = "yourfeedbackthankyoupage.html";
$addresses = array("you@yourdomain.com");

$date = date ("l, F jS, Y");
$time = date ("h:i A");

$msg = "This form was submitted on $date at $time.\n\n";

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$msg .= ucfirst ($key) ." : ". $value . "\n";
}

foreach ($addresses as $email) {
mail($email, $subject, $msg, $headers);
}
if ($forward == 1) {
header ("Location:$location");
}
else {
echo ("Thank you for submitting our form.");
}

?>
Hope that helps you. :D (Credit for this script goes to Pyro!)

If it is only going to one address, I'd use this version instead: http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9543#post48748
