You want the mail() function.

This example assumes:

1) you set the $to var to the address you want the mail to go to.
2) you get the person's name as $name
3) you get the person's email as $email
4) you get the email subject as $subject
5) you get the message body as $body

<?
	$to = "you@somewhere.com";
	$extra_headers = sprintf("From: %s <%s>\nX-IP: %s", 
								$name, $email, $REMOTE_ADDR);
    mail($to, stripslashes($subject), stripslashes($body), $extra_headers);
?>
