How to Use Simple Mail in PHP

Introduction

I will describe simple mail In PHP. For sending mail in PHP, I am using the mail() function. This function accepts five parameters. I have designed a simple contact mail form and sent mail from localhost. PHP e-mail code is used here. This code uses configuration settings in the php.ini file. With PHP you can create contact forms on your website. The mail() function is part of the PHP core.

Syntax

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Parameter	Description
To	Indicates the Receiver.
Subject	Specific subject of the E-mail.
Message	Define the message to be send.
Headers	Additional headers like, From, Cc, and Bcc.

Example

<?php

if(isset($_POST["Submit"])){

$to = "[email protected]";

$subject = "Contact mail";

$from=$_POST["Email"];

$message=$_POST["Message"];

$headers = "$from"; mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

echo "Email successfully sent.";

}

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<tr><td colspan=2><strong>Contact us using this form:</strong></td></tr>

<tr><td><font color=red>*</font> Email:</td><td><input size=25 name="Email"></td></tr>

<tr><td colspan=2>Message:</td></tr>

</table>

</form>

</body>

</html>

This code is used for mail in PHP but you can use this code temporarily in our project and this script works in a live project. You cannot send mail from localhost otherwise this error is generated.
