Send mail in PHP
The mail() function allows you to send emails directly from a script.
mail(to,subject,message,headers,parameters);
Description of parameters
to | Required. Specifies the receiver's email id |
---|---|
subject |
Required. Specifies the subject of the email. Note: This parameter cannot contain any newline characters |
message |
Required. Defines the message to be sent. Each line should be separated with an LF (\n). Lines should not exceed 70 characters. Windows note: If a full stop is found at the beginning of a line in the message, it might be removed. To solve this problem, replace the full stop with a double dot: $txt = str_replace("\n.", "\n..", $txt); |
headers | Optional. Specifies additional headers, like From, Cc, and Bcc. The additional headers should be separated with a CRLF (\r\n). |
parameters | Optional. Specifies an additional parameter to the Sendmail program (the one defined in the sendmail_path configuration setting). (i.e. this can be used to set the envelope sender address when using Sendmail with the -f Sendmail option) |
<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "My subject";
$msg = "Hello world!";
$headers = "From: [email protected]" . "\r\n" .
"CC: [email protected]";
mail($to,$subject,$msg,$headers);
?>
