Php mail format

The PHP mail format!

In PHP, you can send emails using the mail() function, which takes several parameters to format the email. Here's a breakdown of the format:

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)

• $to: The recipient's email address (required)
• $subject: The subject of the email (required)
• $message: The body of the email (required)
• $headers: An optional string containing additional headers (e.g., From, To, CC, BCC, etc.)

Here's an example of a basic email format:

<?php
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Hello from PHP!';
$message = 'This is a test email sent from PHP.';

$headers = 'From: [email protected]'. "\r\n".
           'Reply-To: [email protected]'. "\r\n".
           'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8';

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

In this example:

• $to is the recipient's email address ([email protected])
• $subject is the subject of the email (Hello from PHP!)
• $message is the body of the email (This is a test email sent from PHP.)
• $headers is a string containing additional headers:
  • From: [email protected] specifies the sender's email address
  • Reply-To: [email protected] specifies the reply-to email address
  • Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 specifies the email format (plain text) and character encoding (UTF-8)

You can also use the headers parameter to specify additional headers, such as:

• CC (carbon copy) or BCC (blind carbon copy) recipients
• MIME-Version and Content-Type for attachments or HTML emails
• Date and From for setting the email's date and sender information

Here's an example with additional headers:

<?php
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Hello from PHP!';
$message = 'This is a test email sent from PHP.';

$headers = 'From: [email protected]'. "\r\n".
           'Reply-To: [email protected]'. "\r\n".
           'CC: [email protected]'. "\r\n".
           'BCC: [email protected]'. "\r\n".
           'MIME-Version: 1.0'. "\r\n".
           'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8'. "\r\n".
           'Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2020 14:30:00 +0200'. "\r\n".
           'From: John Doe <[email protected]>';

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Remember to replace the placeholders ($to, $subject, $message, and $headers) with your actual email data.
