If all you want to do is email the results just change the form action to your email address.

Example:

<form action="mailto:your@email.address" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" class="style7" id="form1">
        <label>EMAIL
        <input type="text" name="EMAIL" id="EMAIL" />
        </label>
        <p>
          <label><span class="style6">GENDER</span>
          <input type="text" name="GENDER" id="GENDER" />
          </label>
        </p>
        <p>
          <label>
          
          <span class="style6">
          <input type="radio" name="AGE GROUP" value="low" id="AGE GROUP_0" <?PHP print $low_status; ?>> 
          <strong>25 AND UNDER</strong></span></label>
          <span class="style6"><strong><br />
          <label>
          <input type="radio" name="AGE GROUP" value="mid1" id="AGE GROUP_1" <?PHP print $mid1_status; ?>>
26 - 35</label>
          <br />
          <label>
          <input type="radio" name="AGE GROUP" value="mid2" id="AGE GROUP_2" <?PHP print $mid2_status; ?>>
36 - 45</label>
          <br />
          <label>
          <input type="radio" name="AGE GROUP" value="high" id="AGE GROUP_3"<?PHP print $high_status; ?>>
Radio</label>
          </strong></span><strong><label></label>
          </strong><span class="style7"><strong>
          
          <label></label>
          </strong>
          <label></label>
        </span></p>
        <p>
          <label><span class="style6">UPLOAD PICTRE</span>
          <input type="file" name="upload" id="upload" />
          </label>
        </p>
        <p>
          <label>
        
            <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
         
          </label>
         
        </p>
      </form>

If you want to do it via PHP follow Xav's tutorials.

[Xav]

basically I need to make the back end php page

He wants to do it via PHP.

[Jordan]

Maybe he doesn't know that he can do it via HTML.

[Xav]

Maybe he doesn't want spammers to eat his email address and send him fifty Viagra adverts a day.

[John]

He could use graceful email obfuscation technique to mask his email address...

[Xav]

Or he could just do the PHP Form and get more control over the whole process, which is what he asked for.
