mail() (that was real easy -- did you even think of looking in the manual?)
php.net/mail -- send them an email with some words, and confirmation of
their choices.

a reference number can only be unique if you know what other reference
numbers have already been sent. for example if you store the form data in a
mysql table, then I'd have an auto-increment ID field, which will start at
1, and work it's way up with each form submission.
if you're not working with a database, then you need some other way of
remembering what the last "unique" id was, and incrementing that number by
1.
