    Hey.

    I'm gonna make a forum moderator application where you enter stuff and it will be reviewed by an administrator and eventually be accepted (or not). But i want it to look kinda "pro", and make its own page for it.
    It will be like a quiz where you enter stuff etc. But how do i make it so if i put a submit button it will send an e-mail with this information, if it is possible at all? Or do i need a kind of bot?

    The example below contains an HTML form with two input fields and a submit button:


    <html>
    <body>
     
    <form action="welcome.php" method="post">
    Name: <input type="text" name="fname">
    Age: <input type="text" name="age">
    <input type="submit">
    </form>
     
    </body>
    </html>
    PHP:

    When a user fills out the form above and clicks on the submit button, the form data is sent to a PHP file, called "welcome.php":
    "welcome.php" looks like this:


    <html>
    <body>
     
    Welcome <?php echo $_POST["fname"]; ?>!<br>
    You are <?php echo $_POST["age"]; ?> years old.
     
    </body>
    </html>
    PHP:
    Output could be something like this:

    Welcome John!
    You are 28 years old.
    PHP:
