Hi mr_anderson,

Is this what you have in mind?

Sample Form
http://www.xentrik.net/php/mailform/

PHP Mail Form
This is a PHP script that takes information from a HTML form and sends
it to your email address. It has the following features:
    * Includes an option to send a thankyou autoresponse to the visitor.
    * Everything is totally customizable - the colours, HTML,
autoresponse, thank you messages, etc.
    * Everything is all in one file: the HTML, the form, the script.
    * Can easily "require" fields of the form to be filled in.
    * Checks that the visitor's email address is valid.
    * Emails include the visitor's IP address and browser information.

Comment Form Script
PHP Comment Forms
"The best way to add interactivity to your site with PHP is by adding
a comment form. We can do this the same way we did with the Hello
$name script, by using variables. The only difference this time is
that we'll be using the mail() function, which is what sends the
user's input to your email address."

Hi mr_anderson,

Excellent, thank you for your clarification, I just wanted to make
sure we were on the same wavelength.

1) Please tell me Where Web site provide Free Forms?

2) How can i make a Form ( I mean which Computer Languge should i
learn to make a form)

There are many PHP Tutorials on the internet and picking one is a
matter of preference and expertise. Perhaps the following link would
be a good place to begin because it will teach you while you make a
feedback form.

PHP Tutorial: Writing Your First PHP Script: Feedback Form Script
"I have always believed that the most fun way to learn a new
programming language, whether it is a language like C or a scripting
language like PHP, is to use it to write a real-life useful program.
Of course this is not the most systematic method of learning, but it
works well if you already have some background in programming."
Preliminaries
   1. Before you write your first PHP program, make sure that that
your website is running on a web host that runs PHP 4.1 or above.
   2. You may also find it useful to have a copy of PHP 4.1 or later
installed on your own computer. This makes testing your PHP scripts
much easier. If you use Windows, you can find some tips on installing
PHP on your own computer from my article on "How to Install and
Configure PHP4 on Windows" at
http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/php4install.shtml
   3. And of course, you need an ASCII text editor of some kind (such
as Notepad on Windows). There's a list of such editors on
http://www.thefreecountry.com/programming/editors.shtml
   4. This tutorial also assumes that you have at least some knowledge
of HTML. This is necessary because if I have to explain all the HTML
tags as well, this tutorial will wind up being tediously long.
I will begin with a very rudimentary (but working) PHP script to take
input from a feedback form and send it to you in an email message.
This type of form is sometimes referred to as a FormMail or Form to
Mail script. In later articles, I will develop that script (and
others) to include features commonly found in such FormMail scripts.
If you are programming-savvy, you will recognize this as a sort of
"Hello World" program, but infinitely more useful!"

PHP - What is it?
"Taken directly from PHP's home, PHP.net, "PHP is an HTML-embedded
scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and
Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal
of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically
generated pages quickly."
This is generally a good definition of PHP. However, it is often
easier to think of PHP in terms of what it can do for you. PHP will
allow you to:
    * Reduce the time to create large websites.
    * Create a customized user experience for visitors based on
information that you have gathered from them.
    * Open up thousands of possibilities for online tools. Check out
PHP - HotScripts for examples of the great things that are possible
with PHP.
    * Allow creation of shopping carts for e-commerce websites."
Tutorial Overview
"This tutorial is aimed at the PHP novice and will teach you PHP from
the ground up. If you want a drive-through PHP tutorial this probably
is not the right tutorial for you.
Remember, you should not try to plow through this tutorial in one
sitting. Read a couple lessons, take a break, then do some more after
the information has had some time to sink in."

Dear mr_anderson,

Thank you for your thank you, nice rating and generous tip, that is
very nice of you and I'm happy you are happy.

If you want to make your online shop yourself, I guess PHP would be a
good bet. However, you don't have to start from scratch (unless you
really want to and have LOTS of time and patience!).  Here are a few
ideas for you.

phpShop
"phpShop is a free PHP-based e-commerce application developed by
Edikon. phpShop allows you to setup an online store and manage all
aspects of your online business by using a web browser.
phpShop was designed as a tool to offer easy customization and a
standardized platform for development of e-commerce applications. Its
use of open source technologies allows for cross-platform deployment
using any operating system that supports PHP. phpShop is distributed
under the GNU General Public License (GPL)."
http://www.phpshop.org/

PHP shopping cart software Shop-Script
http://www.shop-script.com/

PerlShop
http://www.perlshop.org/

Zen Cart
Designed for Online Merchants
"Zen Cart? truly is the art of e-commerce; a free, user-friendly, open
source shopping cart system. The software is being developed by group
of like-minded shop owners, programmers, designers, and consultants
that think e-commerce could be and should be done differently. Some
"solutions" seem to be complicated programming exercises instead of
responding to users' needs, Zen Cart? puts the merchant's and
shopper's requirements first. Similarly, other programs are nearly
impossible to install and use without an IT degree, Zen Cart? can be
installed and set-up by anyone with the most basic computer skills.
Others are so expensive ... not Zen Cart?, it's FREE!"
http://www.zencart.com/

"AgoraCart is a powerful online shopping / e-commerce solution that
offers a wide range of out-of-the-box features that allows online
stores to be setup in simple fashion for the beginner, yet it offers
high power ecommerce, flexibility, and modular features that an
experienced programmer or web designer will appreciate after seeing
AgoraCart's full potential. AgoraCart is available for free as an Open
Source based e-commerce solution released under the GNU General Public
License."

The best programming languages to learn for making a shopping cart
would be PHP and/or ASP.  There is even a new programming language
called .NET which is another microsoft based programming language that
would be good to know.  Both of these languages can allow you to make
a fully functional shopping cart but you should know that this is a
pretty hefty task you are taking on.  You might want to consider using
one of the pre-built shopping carts that are already available in the
market such as http://www.easystorecreator.com

These shopping carts have whole teams of developers working on their
products and adding new features.  They will be much more full
featured and reliable then something brand new that you just
developed.  Especially if you arent familiar with programming quite
yet.
