Need help with PHP code.

 

PHP Simple E-Mail

 

One simplest way to send mails via PHP is to send a text email.

 

– Use a simple function called mail() (Hi!). The syntax for the mail function is

 

mail(string to, string subject, string message, string additional_headers);

 

– Example, I want to send an email to [email protected]

mail("[email protected]", "Test Mail (This is the subject of the E-Mail)", "Type text here");

 

First parameter shows the function of sending email to recipient.

Second parameter is the subject.

Third is the body/content of the email.

 

How to know if your email was sent or if an error occurred.

 

if(mail("[email protected]", "Test E-Mail (This is the subject of the E-Mail)", "This is the body of the Email")){

echo "The email was successfully sent.";

} else {

echo "The email was NOT sent.";

}

 

 

Here is an example of a fully functional script.

 

<?php

$email_to = "[email protected]";

$email_subject = "Test E-Mail (This is the subject of the E-Mail)";

$email_body = "This is the body of the Email nThis is a second line in the body!";

if(mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_body)){

    echo "The email($email_subject) was successfully sent.";

} else {

    echo "The email($email_subject) was NOT sent.";

}

?>
