In the index.html there is this:\<form id=“form-1” action=“submit.php” method=“post” id=“contact”\> and the submit buttons code’s this: \<a class=“button-1” href="#" onClick=“document.getElementById(‘form-1’).submit()”\>\<span class=“txt”\>Submit\</span\>\</a\>. How does the data go from the form to the database. What do I need to change on WAMPserver? I am new to this.
