Post what code you have to start with, rarely people want to do all your work for you

Well what kind of answer did you expect? You said what you wanted to do and how you were planning to do it... then asked how to do it.

I just got the impression you wanted someone to walk you through every step of the way, i.e. coding the form, creating the database, writing the scripts to retrieve information and send emails, etc.
