OK, so I am building a webpage for someone, nothing major. The client wants to have an online form so they can submit it for a quote. I have the form up and running (I just used an online form maker)

My question is this... Where does the "SUBMIT" button submit to? I click on it and it does nothing.

I can make it so that it pulls up their default browser and emails it to me. However, I do not want that. I would like to have it all done in the backround.

Any help is always appreciated.

BTW, here is the link to the page so you can see the code...

The form action is set to: webformmailer.php (where the submit is submitting)

That file is taking the form data and mailing it to you. What do you want it to do instead of that?

Because I'm getting bored and for the benefit of someone else who chances upon this thread, I will answer it anyways.

Your current form header reads this:

Code:
<form action="/gdform.php" method="post">

Which means the data is being sent to gdform.php via POST (as opposed to GET). It can be accessed at gdform.php using the PHP $_POST variable.
