Php html form data to email

A classic!

Here's a simple example of how to send HTML form data to an email using PHP:

HTML Form

<form action="send_email.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 (send_email.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
  $to = "[email protected]";
  $subject = "Contact Form Submission";
  $headers = "From: $email\r\n";
  $headers.= "Reply-To: $email\r\n";
  $headers.= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
  $headers.= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n";

  // Set the email body
  $body = "<html><body>";
  $body.= "<h2>Contact Form Submission</h2>";
  $body.= "<p>Name: $name</p>";
  $body.= "<p>Email: $email</p>";
  $body.= "<p>Message:</p>";
  $body.= "<p>$message</p>";
  $body.= "</body></html>";

  // Send the email
  if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
    echo "Email sent successfully!";
  } else {
    echo "Error sending email.";
  }
}
?>

Here's what's happening:

The HTML form is submitted to the send_email.php script using the POST method.
The script checks if the form has been submitted using $_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST".
If the form has been submitted, the script gets the form data using $_POST.
The script sets the email headers using mail() function.
The script sets the email body using HTML.
The script sends the email using mail() function.
If the email is sent successfully, the script displays a success message. If there's an error, it displays an error message.

Note: Make sure to replace [email protected] with your actual email address. Also, this is a basic example, and you may want to add more error handling and validation to your script.
