I'm making a form in HTML and im taking a tutorial... what does this mean-?

';The 1st line should be changed to the address of the FormMail script on your server.';I'm making a form in HTML and im taking a tutorial... what does this mean-?
It means that you should ';post'; the contents of the form to a URL that you have created or has been provided for you by your web host.





Ideally the script located at that URL will parse the contents of your form, validate them (i.e. name has been filled in, an email address is properly formatted, etc.) and then calls a service behind the scenes to either store the information or email it to a predefined address you would have setup.
