Contact form problems

I have found a template of a contact form I am working on. I have figured it out apart from where to place the e-mail of the person that should receive the e-mails that all the users send there e-mails too. I have attached my code below- http://codepen.io/Johned22/pen/vKzAyd Thanks in advance

Hi John

I saw your code and it is simple HTML code. To send an email through that kind of form you have to implement PHP code to your script. On Treehouse there is very fine course tutoring by Alina Holigan and during this course you are learning how to implement email sending by PHPMailer Class which is open-source well written PHP Class.

I hope my answer will help you a bit. You can also seek for PHP mail() function on the net.

Cheers
