I have created an HTML form, and some part of a PHP script. Look below.
I need, somehow, to send the form, using the mail function. How do i do this?
HTML:
<form id="kontaktForm" action="Scripts-ContactForm/recieving.php" method="POST">
<div id="kontaktFormVenstre">
<div id="inputFields_container">
<div id="inputField_container">
<input class="inputField" type="text" name="name" placeholder="Dit navn" />
</div>
<div id="inputField_container">
<input class="inputField" type="text" name="email" placeholder="Din E-Mail" />
</div>
</div>
<div id="inputFieldMessage_container">
<textarea class="inputFieldMessage" name="message" placeholder="Din besked her" rows="8" cols="20"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div id="kontaktFormHøjre">
<div id="button">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send mail" />
</div>
</div>
</form>
PHP:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = 'Fra:'$email;
$to = 'MyEmail';
$subject = 'Hello';
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Message:\n $message";
?>

Answer 1

You can send mail like this. Use PHP mail() function.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$from = 'Fra:'$email;
$to = 'MyEmail';
$subject = 'Hello';
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Message:\n $message";
mail($to,$subject,$body,"From:$from");
}
?>

Your better off using something like PHPMailer, you can download it from: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
There are many examples to help you get started, but using this you can generate HTML emails and HTML alternatives ( for clients that cant read html )
example from github:
<?php
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 3; // Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com'; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'user#example.com'; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'secret'; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->From = 'from#example.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Mailer';
$mail->addAddress('joe#example.net', 'Joe User'); // Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('ellen#example.com'); // Name is optional
$mail->addReplyTo('info#example.com', 'Information');
$mail->addCC('cc#example.com');
$mail->addBCC('bcc#example.com');
$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz'); // Add attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg'); // Optional name
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
as an alternative you can use PHP's mail() function and as said above its as simple as using:
if(mail('toemail', 'subject', 'message', 'headers')) {
echo 'Mail has sent';
} else {
echo 'Mail not sent';
}

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
Try this:
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$to = 'MyEmail';
$subject = 'Hello';
$headers = 'From: '.$name.' <' . $email . ">\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$name.' <' . $email . ">\r\n";
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Message:\n $message";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
