Create contact form - send email-PHP

 Create contact form - send message to email in PHP

e-trainings-contact-form-border


 

For every website, it is necessary having a contact form to share the thoughts of site visitors when they visit the site and what they are thinking about your site.

 

In this blog, we are going to create a contact form and send email using PHP. We will first create a simple contact form with 3 fields -

 

  • Name,
  • Email, 
  • Message.

 

I will use a simple HTML form with the 3 fields and the Send button. 

Create a new file and paste the code below in it. Save it as contact.php and upload it to your web server. 

Now, you have a web page (http://www.yourdomain.com/contact.php) with a simple contact form on it

Code snippet

 
<form method="POST" name="mailform" action="">
<p> Name:
<input type="text" name="name" >
</p>
<p> Email:
<input type="text" name="email" >
</p>
<p> Message: </br>
<textarea name="message" rows=8 cols=30></textarea>
</p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name='submit' value='Send'>
</form> 
 
 
 
 
 

Next you need write actual PHP code which will send the email, when the above form is submitted. 

 


We will need to set


email               $ToEmail

subject            $EmailSubject.

mailheader      $mailheader is used to define the email message header with

                        From, Reply-To and Content-type fields for the message.

 

Code snippet 
 
<?php 
 
$ToEmail = 'youremail'; 
$EmailSubject = 'Site contact form'; 
 
$mailheader = "From: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n"; 
$mailheader .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n"; 
$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 
 
$message_body = "Name: ".$_POST["name"].""; 
$message_body .= "Email: ".$_POST["email"]."";  
$message_body .= "Message: ".$_POST["email"]."";  
 
mail($ToEmail, $EmailSubject, $message_body, $mailheader) or die ("Failure"); 
 
?>
 

 

All we have to do now is to combine the web form and email sending code into a single page. We will use an IF statement to check if the form has been submitted and if so it will send that email and will show a "message sent successfully" message on the screen.

Here is the full code of  contact.php.

contact.php   

 
<html>  
<head> 
 
<title> contact form sending email in PHP</title>

</head> 

<body> 

 <h2> contact form sending email </h2>

<?php

 

if(isset($_POST["submit"])){

 

$ToEmail = 'youremail'; 

$EmailSubject = 'Site contact form';  

 

$mailheader = "From: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n";  

$mailheader .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n"; 

$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";  

 

$message_body = "Name: ".$_POST["name"]."";  

$message_body .= "Email: ".$_POST["email"]."";  

$message_body .= "Message: ".$_POST["message"]."";  

 

if(mail($ToEmail, $EmailSubject, $message_body, $mailheader)) 

echo "messege sent successfully";

else

echo "failed";

  

 }

 

?>

 

<form method="POST" name="mailform" action=""> 

 

<p> Name: <input type="text" name="name" > </p>

<p> Email: <input type="text" name="email" > </p> 

<p> Message: </br> 

<textarea name="message" rows=8 cols=30></textarea> </p>  

<input type="submit" value="Submit" name='submit' value='Send'>

  

</form> 

</body> 

</html>
