Make the HTML form report the results into a PHP script.

Then use the PHP script and the mail function to email.

As far as I know, you also have to have a mail server to use the PHP mail fuction

Code:

<form action="somepage.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type=text name="something" />
Some options <select name="options">
<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
</select>
</form>

And then on somepage.php (or whatever you set the processor to, add:

Code:

<?php
$data = $_POST['something'];
mail('Somebody <somebody@gmail.com>', 'Subject', 'Typed in: ' . $data . ' and selected: ' . $_POST['options'], 'From: Somebodyelse <somebody@else.com');
?>

In this case, you would need to do the price estimate in the PHP code (modify $data).

EDIT: I set up a PHP server at my house, and I didn't need to set up any mail server stuff.

Really? A programmer friend of mine said you have to

I also think pretty much all UNIX/Linux systems are configured to be able to send mail, and my server runs Darwin UNIX.

Well, I have a Mac so yea 

Anyway, here's more of what I want. The price calculation is totally separate and does not go into the email. Here's an example of part of the form:

<form name=parts onclick=getTotal() >
<h1>Hard Drive Space</h1></div>

<input type="radio" name="hdrive" checked value="25" /> 100 GB - Great for storing photos and documents. - $25<br />
<input type="radio" name="hdrive" value="50" /> 500 GB - Enough space to store games and videos as well as lots of programs. - $50<br />
<input type="radio" name="hdrive" value="100" /> 1 TB (1000 GB) - Tons of space to store hours of video or high quality games. - $100<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="hdrive" value="150" /> 750 GB SSD (Solid State Drive) - A super fast SSD so you can access the files you need quickly. - $150<br />

A JS script adds the values of the selected items together and shows it. I know how to send email via PHP but I am wondering how to convert the checkboxes and radiobuttons that are selected into a list which will be the email message.

JavaScript "onClick: 'var x = 1', etc maybe.

IDK tbh

Set the value of a hidden input with the form results, maybe?
