nitation Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 To start with. You need to understand how PHP works before embarking on using the mail function. Anyway to assist you with your question, this is how to send mail in php <?php mail('[email protected]', 'My Subject', 'My Message'); ?> Hope this is useful Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/117540-php-contact-page-help/#findComment-604638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
