PHP Simple Text E-Mail
The simplest way to send an email with PHP is to send a simple text email.This is a simple text email where we define the variables and send a mail:
<?php
$to = "someone@someplace.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple text email message.";
$from = "someonelse@anotherplace.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>

PHP Mail Form
Using PHP you can create a feedback form for your website. In this example it sends a text message to a specified e-mail.When using HTML forms with PHP, any form element in the HTML form will automatically be available to the PHP script.
This is how this example works:
- Check if the email input is set
- If it is not set (like when the page is first visited) it will output the HTML mail form
- If the email input is set (like after the form is filled out) it will send the mail from the form
- When submit is pressed after the form is filled out, the page reloads, sees that the email input is set, and sends the mail.
<html>
<body>
<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
{
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
mail( "someone@someplace.com", "Subject: $subject",
$message, "From: $email" );
echo "Thank you for using our mail form";
}
else
{
echo "<form method='post' action='mailform.php'>
Email: <input name='email' type='text' /><br />
Subject: <input name='subject' type='text' /><br />
Message:<br />
<textarea name='message' rows='15' cols='40'>
</textarea><br />
<input type='submit' />
</form>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
