I need a PHP form on a webpage for a user to input a few details such as their name, email, house address along with a few checkboxes to they can choose particular options and then I want the details sent to my email address.
I've searched and searched but with no luck
Anyone able to help me out?

you will need some form of cgi script to process the form
or you can find a free server you can use to process it for you

Got my own server so that isn't a problem.
http://phpfmg.sourceforge.net/generator.php is ideal and EXACTLY what I need, but I can't get the fucker to work

You could write your own using the mail() function, means the output can be customised more easily to exactly how you want the mail delivering etc. but its more work.
There are a number of generic ones available though, for example -
http://www.sitescripts.com/PHP/Email_(Form_Processing)/
http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Form_Processing/
Many to choose from.
What is the problem with the one that you have?

like ian said, just use the mail() function (php.net) if it's just being sent to you, easiest thing to use -
code:
eg:
mail($to_email_address, $subject, $email_body, $email_headers);
the from address is set in the php.ini usually, but you can change it using headers
code:
eg:
mail($to_email_address, $subject, $email_body, "From: Bob <bob@bob.com"> ;
hope that helps mate
