    So you want a sign up form that takes the data and either stores it in a database or saves it in a text file, or even emails it to you?

    yeah i think a code that submits to my email without the users email system poping up is a good way :D
    i tried doing .php files but i don't know why it takes over hours to even load or submit the data. I use notepad to paste the code and save the file as .php I think i am using the wrong program to do it, i don't know anything about php.

    Things to note.
    1) You never ask for last name
    2) You only let them pick a birth year back to 1992

    Here is your saveinfo.php, be sure to modify the two variables at the top 
    <?php
	// This is saveinfo.php

	$my_email = "Jaguarjace@Jaguarjace.com"; // Set your email address here
	$email_subject = "Sign up data from my website."; // Set the email's subject here

	if(isset($_GET['Username'])){
		$output = "Username: $_GET['Username']\n";
		$output .= "Password: $_GET['Password']\n";
		$output .= "Password Again: $_GET['Confirm_Password']\n";
		$output .= "First Name: $_GET['First_Name']\n";
		$output .= "Gender: $_GET['Gender']\n";
		$output .= "Birthday: $_GET['Months']/$_GET['Days']/$_GET['Years']\n";
		$output .= "Country: $_GET['country']\n";
		$output .= "Email: $_GET['Email']\n";
		$output .= "Email Again: $_GET['Confirm_Email']\n";
		$output .= "Email Again: $_GET['Confirm_Email']\n";
		$output .= "IP Address: $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']";

		if (mail($my_email, $email_subject, $output)) {
			echo("<h1>Message successfully sent!</h1>");
		} else {
			echo("<h1>Message delivery failed...</h1>");
		}
	}
?>
