Hi, Eijaz,

OK, well, you get your web server and PHP set up on your local computer.
That will allow you to fill out the form and get the data into PHP.

Next question - if you weren't using PHP how would you get the data to
the other computer? Email? ftp? Networked Drive? Other?

You can do it the same way with PHP. But first you need to identify how
you would get it to the other system without PHP.
