Well, it's pretty simple. First, create an HTML page with forms, something like this:
Code: Select all
<form action="mail.php" method="POST">
Send To: <input type="text" name="to">
Subject: <input type="text" name="subject">
Message:
<textarea rows="10" cols="30" name="message"></textarea>
</form>
Then, create the mail.php which actually receives the parameters and sends the mail:
Code: Select all
<?php
if (mail($_POST['to'], $_POST['subject'], $_POST['message'])) {
echo 'Message Sent';
} else {
echo 'Uh-oh, error!';
}
?>
This one is pretty simple, but will do the job. You can also add optional headers but this is another story
Hope this helps

Plz explain me, because i dont understand what you mean with that
id or
email id. Try to post some kind of understandable example
As i understud what you need i'll try to help you:
Action- it's a file name for submited form data
Mthod- You can use
get or
post If you will use get, in adress bar user will see:
filename.php?field_name1= its_value&field_name=Its_value_2.......
and so on. But if you use post, user will see just a filename.php so u should use
POST In file source to get a value of some kind of you for field use code:
For POST method:
Code: Select all
if(]
For GET method: [code]if(isset($_GET["field_name1"]))
$field_name1=$_GET["field_name1"];

suppose a user fills his details on the form that i have provided then all the data that he has keyed in should reach my email inbox once he has pressed the submit button. A copy of it should also be reaching my another email @another server
Eg. suppose the fields are name(lixas), email(
me@a.com), address(new york, USA) and phone no(3242342) and the customer here lixas has keyed in his details (in the brackets) then pressed the submit button. then i should get a email like this
name lixas
address ny usa
email
me@a.com
phone no:- 3242342
to
jasondsouza@a.com
and copy of the above email to another email address ie suppose
jasondsouza@b.com

if you need, you can also use this:
Code: Select all
mail($_POST['email'] . ', [email]youremail@example.com[/email]', 'subject here', $contents_here, $headers_here);
