Simple php form to send an email by using mail function.

[George]

To send an email by using mail() use the following code in any .php test file for example create a file test.php and use the following code in test.php file

PHP Code:

$to      = 'test@yahoo.com';
$subject = 'The test for mail function';
$message = 'Hello';
$headers = 'From: test@testforever.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: test@testforever.com' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?> 


The above code will send an email after browsing http://yourdomain.com/test.php at test@yahoo.com from test@testforever.com with the content "Hello" and subject "The test for mail function".

Simple and to the point. That is the way that all code should be. Some folks try to make there code look all complicated and usually all they do is foul it up by trying. Good snippet, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the code snippet, but do you have a form script or code that you can share that would be used with this? I think that would make it a complete work and usable by all here.

I have a question - can you send attachments this way ? I have a script on this firum that uses mutt to send a mysql backup to a gmail account -
here (cron job to send a database backup to gmail account) - It would be nice if there were another way as not everyone has mutt on their system

cheers.
