An old way is to use an email in the form's action attribute, but this requires the user to have a mail account/application set up on his or her computer, which isn't very handy.
The other way is to use php to either insert/update the data in a database or to return the information in another web page, or both. This can be done by specifying your receiving php file in the form's action tag, for example:
<form action="receive.php" method="POST">Insert form elements here</form>
