- Set up the variables:
$to = "email@address.com"; //where the email will go $subject = "Our Subject"; //the subject $message = "The message to send"; //the message $from = "you@email.com"; //from email $header = "From: $from"; //header including the from email
- Sending the email:
mail($to, $subject, $message, $header); //send the email
- Sending the email and returning a success or failure message
echo (mail($to, $subject,$message, $header)) ? "Email sent" : "Error sending email" ;
- Setting header to send html email:
$header = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n"; $header .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n"; //add content type $header .= "From: $from"; //header including the from email
- Creating a function to send emails:
function mailit ($to,$subject,$message,$from){ $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "From: <$from>" . "\r\n"; return (mail($to, $subject,$message, $headers)) ? TRUE : FALSE; }
Usage:
$to = "email@address.com"; //where the email will go $subject = "Our Subject"; //the subject $message = "<strong>Message</strong>The html message"; //the message $from = "you@email.com"; //from email echo (mailit($to,$subject,$message,$from )==FALSE) ? "Sending Failed!" : "Mail sent!" ;
