Form mail php
Form mail in PHP!
Form mail is a common feature in web development where a user submits a form on a website, and the data is sent to a server-side script (usually written in PHP) to process and send an email with the form data.
Here's a basic example of how to create a form mail script in PHP:
HTML Form
<form action="sendmail.php" method="post">
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name"><br><br>
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email"><br><br>
<label for="message">Message:</label>
<textarea id="message" name="message"></textarea><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
PHP Script (sendmail.php)
<?php
// Check if the form has been submitted
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
// Get the form data
$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
// Set the email headers and body
$to = "[email protected]"; // Replace with your email address
$subject = "Form Submission from ". $name;
$body = "Name: ". $name. "\n";
$body.= "Email: ". $email. "\n";
$body.= "Message: ". $message;
// Send the email using PHP's mail function
$headers = "From: ". $email. "\r\n";
$headers.= "Reply-To: ". $email. "\r\n";
$headers.= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers.= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
// Display a success message
echo "Thank you for submitting the form!";
} else {
// Display the form if it hasn't been submitted
?>
<form action="sendmail.php" method="post">
<!-- Form fields go here -->
</form>
<?php
}
?>
In this example, the form is submitted to the sendmail.php
script, which checks if the form has been submitted using the $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"]
variable. If the form has been submitted, it retrieves the form data using the $_POST
superglobal and sets the email headers and body. The email is then sent using PHP's mail
function. Finally, a success message is displayed.
Note that this is a basic example and you should consider implementing additional security measures, such as validating user input and preventing spam submissions.
