Question

I am new to php. I have created a form but I am unable to understand where would this form be stored when the user presses submit. Can anyone please help me out? Thanks

    <h1><a>Contact Us</a></h1>
    <form id="form_317009" class="appnitro"  method="post" action="">
                <div class="form_description">
        <h2>Contact Us</h2>
        <p>Please enter the details here to get a quote.</p>
    </div>                      
        <ul >

                <li id="li_1" >
    <label class="description" for="element_1">Name </label>
    <div>
        <input id="element_1" name="element_1" class="element text medium" type="text" maxlength="255" value=""/> 
    </div><p class="guidelines" id="guide_1"><small>Please enter your name in it.</small></p> 
    </li>       <li id="li_3" >
    <label class="description" for="element_3">Email </label>
    <div>
        <input id="element_3" name="element_3" class="element text medium" type="text" maxlength="255" value=""/> 
    </div><p class="guidelines" id="guide_3"><small>Please Enter a valid email so we can contact back.</small></p> 
    </li>       <li id="li_2" >
    <label class="description" for="element_2">Subject </label>
    <div>
        <textarea id="element_2" name="element_2" class="element textarea medium"></textarea> 
    </div><p class="guidelines" id="guide_2"><small>Please describe the package in which you are interested so we can reach you out and give you a quote.</small></p> 
    </li>

                <li class="buttons">
            <input type="hidden" name="form_id" value="317009" />

            <input id="saveForm" class="button_text" type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
    </li>
        </ul>
    </form> 

Answer 1

It gets stored wherever you like.

You’ll need to write a php app to handle the POST HTTP request from the form, which can do something to the data: put it in a database, display it back to the user, email it, throw it away, etc.
