I am listing here the method for sending mail using PHP code. This will be useful in many ways, for example when you want to sent mail after say a form is submitted.
Note: This may work in local , but I am suggesting you to execute on live server.
<?php ini_set("SMTP","mail.yoursitename.com"); //this is in general case, put here the SMTP address. ini_set("SMTP_PORT",25); //this is default SMTP port $to="recipient@abc.com"; //recipient's email address. $from="sender@efg.com"; //sender's email address. $subject = "Subject of email"; //email subject. $headers = 'From: ' . $from . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $from . "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); //set headers $headers.="\r\nMime-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers.="Content-type: text/HTML\r\n"; //content type of email, can be simple text $Body="<b>U have won a Honda CBR</b>"; //content of email, can be html content if(mail($to, $subject, $Body, $headers)) //sent mail { echo 'Mail Sent'; //do something after a mail is sent } ?>
