Is it possible to ever have a simple HTML contact form that automatically sends instead of opening outlook (or a third party email). Or is this only achieved through PHP?

Yes, it's easy to make a contact form but you do need to handle it on the server side with some programming language, not just PHP.

ahh i thought so but I wasnt sure. Every code I keep using it keeps bringing up outlook to send the email and isnt emailing it in the form as is.
