Sending Mail using PHP

Hello readers, Today in this blog you’ll learn how to send email in PHP. Earlier, you learned to create a show/hide password toggle in Javascript. I have also created a blog on other cool stuff about web designing.

Nowadays each and every website contains a contact us page and on the contact page, we can see the contact form which is used to receive mail from visitors regarding their messages or queries. Creating such a contact form is a better and more effective way to interact with visitors. After seeing such a form, one question may arise in your mind how can we receive mail from our contact form? So, to answer your question and to make your work easy I’m here with an exciting blog. So, without talking furthermore let’s move toward the code.

Sending mail using PHP is very easy and fun. Beginners also feel easy to create such an email sender with PHP. We just need to write one line of code and the mail will be sent to the targeted email address. At first, we have to create a contact form where user can write their message. I have already created a whole Contact Us page using HTML & CSS with awesome animation. Check that blog. I have also provided the source code which you can use free of cost. Today I’m going to use that contact form to receive mail from the visitors. I have made some changes to that contact form. I have used a live server for this contact form but you can use it in localhost too. Make sure you have created a mailing environment in your localhost otherwise the mail will not be sent.
