To submit an HTML form to an action PHP file, you need to set the action attribute of the form to the URL of the PHP file. Here is an example:



<!-- HTML form -->
<form method="post" action="process-form.php">
  <label for="name">Name:</label>
  <input type="text" name="name" id="name">

  <label for="email">Email:</label>
  <input type="email" name="email" id="email">

  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

In this example, when the form is submitted, it will send a POST request to the process-form.php file. You can then use PHP code in the process-form.php file to handle the form submission and process the form data. Here is an example:



<?php
// process-form.php

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {
    // Get the form data
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];

    // Do something with the form data
    // ...
}
?>

In this example, the $_POST superglobal array is used to retrieve the form data. You can then process the form data as needed.
