Explanation for code:

Part 1 - Type in the email address for where the information is sent.
Part 2 - Type in an email address that will be used in the "from" section of the email header. It may be fictitious. An example is "signups@eos.net"
Part 3 - Type in the email subject. A good idea is to make sure the person receiving the email knows it comes from the web page.
Part 4 - This is the message that the person who submits the information will get once they are finished. A good example of this is "Thank you for signing up. You will receive email confirmation of your reservation."
