You have seen html form whose send e-mails based on content entered in the form and now you want the same form on your web site. Ok, no problem.

Let's start with html file which containing the form where user writes his message and send by pressing the [Send] button.

Please note that we have one input field named "send" with value parameter set to 1. This field we will use later when sending form to server to check that the form is truly sent.

Also in our example we using POST method for sending the data and for action of form we use the same file with form - $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

<html>
<head>
<title>Sending e-mails with PHP mail() function</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
    <input type="text" name="from_name">
    <input type="text" name="from_email">
    <textarea name="message"></text>
    <input type="hidden" name="Send" value="1">
    <input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
</body>
</html>
You have to know that when in your php.ini register_globals = Off and you receiving data with POST method you have to use $_POST['var_name'] instead $var_name!

<?php
$send
=$_POST['send'];
$from_name=$_POST['from_name'];
$from_email=$_POST['from_email'];
$message=$_POST['message'];
?>
