Send an email from you website
This question has been ask so often, so here it is. Simple mail function, send a flat email. [php]<?php $to = 'to@hotmail.com'; //address email should be sent to $subject = 'subject here'; //Subject of the email $message = 'enter the message here'; //The message //These extra headers allow you to set who the message is from $headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); //"From" is address that the email would have been sent from //"Reply-To" is the address that any replies will be sent to //This line sends your message mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); ?>[/php] This wont be very useful to most people, as it is very rarely you want to sent the same email to one person repeatedly. So next i will show you how to create a form that will be used to send the email. I this example i will use a contact form on a web page that allows visitors to send a message to the owner. First create a page called contact.php, then enter this code: [code:1jillwz1]<form method=POST action="send.php"> Email: <input name="email"><br> Subject: <input name="subject"><br> Message:<br> <textarea name="message" cols=40 rows=6></textarea><br> <input type=submit value="send"> </form>[/code:1jillwz1] Then make another page called send.php: [php]<?php $to ='nosmo-kings@hotmail.com'; //Your email address (webmasters email address) $subject = $_POST['subject']; //Gets the subject sent by the form $message = $_POST['message']; //Gets the message sent by the form $headers = 'From: ' . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); //Changes the reply to email so the webmaster can easily reply mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); //Shows a message when email is sent echo "message sent"; ?>[/php] Now the contact form should be up and running. Emails may be placed in recipients junk mail box for security reasons. I hope this answers everyones questions, but if you need any more help don't hesitate to ask, Flabby Rabbit
