Submit choice and send automatic email

Hi all

I'm trying to develop our organisation's Moodle site, but I'm having to teach myself all about PHP (I'm an historian!!) and need to tweek the Choice module so that when a member of staff clicks the submit choice button a confirmation email is sent to them.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to start please? I want to try to write the code myself, but I'm having trouble identifying which bit of code needs adding to/modifying. I keep thinking I've found the answer, and then I start to doubt myself. I (currently) think it's something in the mod_form.php file?

Any pointers will be gratefully received! I'm finding my lack of understanding frustrating!!!

ETA: We're using Moodle 1.9+
