How to send Mail Using PHP
How to send the mail using mail() function in PHP
In this tutorial I will explain how to send mail using PHP mail function.The mail() function allows you to send emails directly from a script.
PHP Mail Function
mail(to,subject,message,headers,parameters);
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| to | Required. Specifies the receiver / receivers of the email |
| subject | Required. Specifies the subject of the email. Note: This parameter cannot contain any newline characters |
| message | Required. Defines the message to be sent. Each line should be separated with a LF (\n). Lines should not exceed 70 characters.Windows note: If a full stop is found on the beginning of a line in the message, it might be removed. To solve this problem, replace the full stop with a double dot: <?php $txt = str_replace(“\n.”, “\n..”, $txt); ?> |
| headers | Optional. Specifies additional headers, like From, Cc, and Bcc. The additional headers should be separated with a CRLF (\r\n).Note: When sending an email, it must contain a From header. This can be set with this parameter or in the php.ini file. |
| parameters | Optional. Specifies an additional parameter to the sendmail program (the one defined in the sendmail_path configuration setting). (i.e. this can be used to set the envelope sender address when using sendmail with the -f sendmail option) |
First, create a HTML form with three fields
- Subject
- Message
Index.php
