From the receiving script (= the script named in the action of the form) you
can retrieve a POST value as follows:
$teamname = $_POST["teamname"];
If you want to 'recyle' that name, just give it as a value to the
corresponding formfield:
<input type="text" name="teamname" value="<?= $teamname ?>">
If you need to pass around a variable from script to next script, you can
use a session.
It is all here:
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php
In short:
- put a variable in a session:
$_SESSION["teamname"] = $teamname;
from another script:
$_SESSION["teamname"] now contains the value you put into it.

That are two different thing.
I suggest that your receiving script first does a database insert, and then
mails the results (as csv or whatever suits you) to your mainadress.
Look up at www.php.net the mail function.
