    forms on other sites

    something like
    Title
    Description
    URL

    I want to be able to take sites with those submission forms and make a script to auto submit to them all in one click.

    This is possible to automate, though there will be several tough things. Each bookmarking service have URL to which you can submit site info. Usually they require authentication i.e. you need
    to sign up, confirm your email etc. Assuming you have signed up manually, you can use login/password in your submission script for auto-authentication to add a bookmark. You can use curl library, or any of available classes such as Snoopy to pass authentication to the target social bookmarking url. You'll need to analyze each social bookmarking site (i.e. what cookies to send etc.).

    I have a list of websites that don't require a registration. The sites just have a form to submit. I'm new to php. What do I need to get started?

    For each of websites from your list, you need to open their bookmark submission form, and analyze field names of the form. Also, you may need to check response headers - if they send cookies to your browser when you're submitting bookmark (for this you can set up a Web Developer toolbar in your browser, search for it on google). Then, I'd recommend you to get the Snoopy class (again, google it, it is on sourceforge.net). This is a easy to use class, and it have examples on how to retrieve page and how to submit (post, get) data to page and get results.
    There going to be just couple of tens lines of code, but it will require some time to analyze form's fields, responses, before you can start submitting urls automatically. If you submit too much to the same service, it is likely they will ban your IP, so you may need to use proxy (there are proxy parameters in the Snoopy class).
