When a user submits a form and you put all the contact files into one, where does their submission go?

In the same file you'll have to find out if the method is post or get. When you download files from the server/visit a page the method will be get. But when you submit a form the method is post, since you will then send stuff to the server/submit a form. The php code checks if the form is sent aka method="post" and then it will process the $_GET array with the information sent.
