If you want php to do it in the remote server (your case),
of course, you do not have to use javascript //
Just do like this
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) // to verify that browser are sending something
correctly
{
// --> record posted data into database
and after
// --> send mail
}
But if you want 2 actions in the client-side browser, you should use
javascript, for example you want first to check data and simultaneously,
display progress bar (animated gif),
like this
onsubmit="return(send_data(document.form));"
and the on the function send_data() you have
1. do action 1
2. do action 2
3. return true
