Question

Answer 1

You can do that by first getting what users typed in a form.
Then parse the input into a text file or html file that you can send using the mail() function in PHP.
for example for a "datepickerfield" field:
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = $_GET['datepickerfield'];
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Answer 2

You can access the form input fields in PHP over $_GET or $_POST. This depends on your form.
<form action="/mail.php" method="get">
or
<form action="/mail.php" method="post">
Here's an example:
HTML Form:
<form action="/mail.php" method="post">
<label for="fullname">Full name:</label>
<input type="text" id="fullname" name="fullname">
<label for="birthday">Birthday:</label>
<input type="date" id="birthday" name="birthday">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
and in your php file :
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$message = 'The Birthday of '.$_POST['fullname'].' is: '.$_POST['birthday'];
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
