Getting my contact form to Submit

[David Baird]

Hi all.
First time delivering a Contact form.

I have my Contact form HTML (supplied below) and now need to know how to create the matching .PHP file and what to do next to have responses from the form arrive to my email. Any help greatly appreciated.

<!–Start Form–>

<

div>

<h2>Don’t Hesitate to Get in Touch!</h2>

<h3 class=”text-center”>Get Directions</h3>

<input type=”text” placeholder=”First and Last Name” />

<label>Email</label>

<textarea placeholder=”How can I help you?”>
</textarea>

<button type=”submit” class=”secondary”>Submit</button>
</form>

<!–End Form–>

It’s better to put large amounts of code on codepen, or make a gist on github. Formatting is difficult on the forums, and large blocks of code discourage readers. Also, not all of what you posted is relevant to your question: the map, for example, has nothing to do with your contact form.

Do you understand how forms submit data? do you understand what happens to form data when it is submitted to PHP? Have you tried anything yet?
