How can i send an email?

Posted 24 August 2008 - 04:34 AM

I've strugled a lot trying to find the code for .php file to be able to send an email to someone@something.com the only thing that i have found is: mailto:someone@something.com but that works as a url...
lets say that you want to fill a comment textbox and a checkbox that says male/female how can i send those variables to an email as:
comment: coment from textbox here depents on what he have written
type: variable here male or female depents on what he checked
the same way you send an activation email or a newsletter email...

but since i dont have a server i want to add this to an html file:
$_GET['comment'];
$_GET['type'];
idk...

you wont be able to do that without php ...

im not completely sure how to do it but im guessing you would have to send it ith 2 php lines saying

<?php echo $comment; ?>
<br>
<?php echo $sex; ?>

this would mean making the comment and sex into variables .. im not sure how to add them to an email though sorry

You would use PHP's mail() function.

You would need to use a mail function in PHP. You can't do this in HTML. HTML is just a markup language, and nothing more. :)

You need a mail server, and PHP or some other server-side programming language.

PHP mail() function is quite simple. :D
