I know im sounding a little picky and demanding but please bear with me. i know emails CAN be sent via browser, i just need to know how. its for an email registration required to play. i can email the player a code to get access but i cant figure out how make it do it automaticaly like in tedril (idk how you spell it, my apologies to the creator ^_^) any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'd need some kind of third-party script that allows for emails to be sent. Something like PHP would be the easiest solution.

There is no such thing as a PHP compiler. It is a scripting language. You need to find a webhost that has PHP support.

You can host off of your computer for free: http://www.wampserver.com/en/
or you could find other webhosts that support PHP: http://www.absolutely-free-hosting.com/free_hosts_01.php
Or if you're willing to pay I'd suggest Dreamhost: http://www.dreamhost.com/
