15,622 PointsYou will need to write some PHP - this cannot be done with HTML alone. The simplest solution is send an email for each form submission. This blog post: http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/sending-email-with-phpmailer-and-smtp explains more or less what to do but you might want to do the intro PHP videos first.
