<>Sending a mail from php is so simple with the mail function available from php. It mainly requires three parameters ,1. to Paramater : A string representing a mail address to whom the mail has to be sent.

2. Subject Parameter : A string representing the subject of the mail.

3. Message Parameter : A string representing the actual message of the mail.

Below example code is a simple web page consisting of text fields

<?
if($_POST[submit]){ // Checks to see if the form has been submitted or not
$to = “YOUREMAIL@YOURSITE.COM“; // Your Email Address
$subject = $_POST[’subject’]; // Gets the fields from the form
$message = $_POST[’message’];
if($subject==NULL|$message==NULL) { // Checks to see if the fields are left blank and if so it display the message
die(”Sorry, but one of the fields was left blank. Please Return To The Form”);
}
$mailsend = mail($to,$subject,$message); // Puts the information into order and then sends it
{
header(”Location: ?message=Thank you”); // Redirects the page back to contact.php and then displays a message
}
}
