You should submit
the form. (or use JavaScript to valid the form then submit it)
<form id="email_form">
<input name="name">
<input type="submit" id="submit_btn">
</form>
Then mail.php
will get the information, and you can do whatever you want there.
ADDED
To submit a form
in JavaScript:
document.querySelector("#submit_btn").addEventListener("click",function(e){
var form = document.querySelector("#email_form"); //Select the form
form.submit(); //Submit it (very self-explanatory)
e.preventDefault();
},false);
