PHP Email

PHP Code
The PHP code to send email is simply one PHP function mail(). The basic format for this function is:

mail("to", "subject", "message");

For example (this is straight out of the online help that comes with PHP):

mail("joecool@example.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");

PHP does need to be installed and setup properly for mail to work. On a Unix-type setup, such as Linux, PHP will use your local sendmail program to send it. Windows machines use SMTP. If you need to you can edit your php.ini file and set the appropiate SMTP host you use to send email.

Here's the code to send the email:

<?
if ($REQUEST_METHOD == "POST") {

// Just to be on the safe side - I'll strip out HTML tags
// (scripting code may mess with some email clients)
$realname = strip_tags($realname);
$email = strip_tags($email);
$feedback = strip_tags($feedback);

// setup variables
$sendto = "$email";
$subject = "Send Mail Feedback Using PHP";
$message = "$realname, $email\n\n$feedback";

// send email
mail($sendto, $subject, $message);

}
?>
