All of it is good, but it sounds like you're after the content in the least badge 'Wrapping Up The Project'.

22,986 PointsHey Jake Porritt,
Because you raised this question in the php section, I assumed that's how you wanted to send your form ;)
You won't be able to send any emails using html. Sending emails is done by a server, therefore you need to use a server side language (like php or ruby) to get everything hooked up.
What are you looking to do?
