form action,please help

Hi
I'm trying to create a quote form on my existing website, the problem is i'm a bit confused. I know that when you create a form, you have to have a php script to send the form to your email let say, i have this form <form action="welcome.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="fname">
Age: <input type="text" name="age">
<input type="submit">
</form>
Here the form action is welcome.php, this will be used by the user to send the form to my email. But in the case of form builder what should i put, i don't really understand "Specify the action page" in CSS FORM BUILDER. Does the program create the data for me or should that create the data myself or should that use the Form Function to enter my email where my form will be submitted?
Help please, im a newbie here, i'm still learning to use the extension

Also when i create the form it gives me the currency in dollars ($) how can i change it to GRP (£)

Cheers

The default action for the form in CSS Form builder is to post to itself.

This is the simplest way to set it up.

The action page is where CSS Form builder will place the code to process the server validations for the form.

If you want to have the form contents sent to you in an email, you can set that up on the Form Functions page

after the form is created, you can edit the Universal Email server behavior to set it to redirect to another page after sending the email.

Redirect on Submit

What file do you mean by "Universal Email"? I looked through all of the email files created by Form Builder and could not find a place to set a redirect. Any pointers would be appreciated. I need to have the forms I am building redirect to a thank you page on submission.

on your page, open the Server Behaviors panel, this will list all the server behaviors applied to the page. in the list, double click the Universal Email server behavior to edit it and set the Go To page.
