What is HTML forms action?
The HTML form action attribute defines what should happen to the data when a form is submitted to a webpage.
In a few words the action attribute specifies where to send the data-form when a form is submitted.
The value of the action attribute should be URL of the web resource that will process the content of the form.

Syntax:

<form action="/submit.php">
.......
</form>

The action attribute appears between our opening" <form" tag and ">" without quotes. By default, the method attribute is set to “get”.

HTML form action submit

How do you create a form action "submit" in HTML?
We make an example with the action form sending the First Name, Last Name and Email data to a page named action-form.php.
The First name, Last name and email data has the input type “text”.
We define a button with the input type appointed “submit” - Submit Button <input type="submit">.
When clicked, this button will send your data to our link “action-form.php” URL.

Example (this is HTML - PHP editor, change text on this window)
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h2>HTML action form submit</h2>

<form action="/action-form.php" method="get">
<label for="f_name">First Name:</label>
<br>
<input type="text" id="f_name" name="f_name"
value="Nick"><br>
<label for="l_name">Last Name:</label>
<br>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email"
value="Nick"><br>
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<br>
<input type="text" id="l_name" name="l_name"
value="nick@ager.com"><br><br>
<input type="submit" value=" Submit ">
</form>

<p>When you click the "Submit" button, all datas
from this form will be sent to a page called "/action-form.php".</p>

</body>
</html>
Note: default width of text input fields is maximum 20 characters.
