Can anyone help me make this contest link form into a database or so that when someone submits the info, it goes to an email address?

I have this page all layed out, just need to figure out how to get the info submited back.

Kinda of depends on what language you are up for using to program in.
I use PHP and use the $_GET['fieldname'] or $POST['fieldname'] functions in the page which receives the submitted values.
Then it's easy to use the PHP email function to send the variables in an email to whomever (and/or to put the data into an MySQL database.

I got enough (in my first PHP years) to do that easily from Ullman's Visual QuickPro Guide to PHP and MySQL.
