Typically this feature just sends a link in an email, but if you think
it's a good idea to send the whole page as HTML, then here's the steps
I think you need to take.

1. emailme.php recieves a referrer URL as a GET variable [click an
'email this' link]

2. emailme.php asks for a target email address, etc -- and also passes
the referrer url around as a hidden form field [click submit]

3. emailme.php grabs the output of a URL via something like the 3rd
example on http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php

4. emailme.php uses a mime mail email class (like the one on
phpclasses.org by manuel lemmos, or the examples found on
http://php.net/mail) to send the email to the target address

So, start researching each step, and come back with specific questions
as you need to.
