The easiest way to get form information is by using

<form method="post" action="mailto:example@domain.com">

in the form tags. [Where the email address is your email address.]
This will open up the users default mail client and ask them to send
you an email with the form information in it. This isn't exactly
useful though, try it and you'll see why. It sends the information as
a mess.

Probably what you REALLY want to be doing is sending the form data to a
programme on the server that interprets what the form sends you and
turns it into useful information. One of the common ways to do this is
by sending the data to a script (in a scripting language of your
choice).

I'm not really sure where you can get these from but just ask google
about server-side form scripts. I just quickly took a look there seems
to be some useful information
