how to send an email using php code example

Example 1: php mail

<?php
$to = $_POST['email'];
$subject = "Email Subject";

$message = 'Dear '.$_POST['name'].',<br>';
$message .= "We welcome you to be part of family<br><br>";
$message .= "Regards,<br>";

// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";

// More headers
$headers .= 'From: <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
?>

Example 2: php send email with attachment

$filename = 'myfile';
    $path = 'your path goes here';
    $file = $path . "/" . $filename;

    $mailto = '[email protected]';
    $subject = 'Subject';
    $message = 'My message';

    $content = file_get_contents($file);
    $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));

    // a random hash will be necessary to send mixed content
    $separator = md5(time());

    // carriage return type (RFC)
    $eol = "\r\n";

    // main header (multipart mandatory)
    $headers = "From: name <[email protected]>" . $eol;
    $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . $eol;
    $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"" . $separator . "\"" . $eol;
    $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit" . $eol;
    $headers .= "This is a MIME encoded message." . $eol;

    // message
    $body = "--" . $separator . $eol;
    $body .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"" . $eol;
    $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit" . $eol;
    $body .= $message . $eol;

    // attachment
    $body .= "--" . $separator . $eol;
    $body .= "Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=\"" . $filename . "\"" . $eol;
    $body .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" . $eol;
    $body .= "Content-Disposition: attachment" . $eol;
    $body .= $content . $eol;
    $body .= "--" . $separator . "--";

    //SEND Mail
    if (mail($mailto, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
        echo "mail send ... OK"; // or use booleans here
    } else {
        echo "mail send ... ERROR!";
        print_r( error_get_last() );
    }

Example 3: php mail function

<?php
	//Sending mail from contact form page.
  	// It works perfectly for me. 
  	//Edit it and make it your own.
  	
  	
    $to = "[email protected]";
    $from = $_POST['email'];
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $subject = $_POST['subject'];
    $number = $_POST['number'];
    $cmessage = $_POST['message'];

    $headers = "From: $from";
	$headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\n";
	$headers .= "Reply-To: ". $from . "\r\n";
	$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
	$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";

    $subject = "You have a message from your Bitmap Photography.";

    $logo = 'img/logo.png';
    $link = '#';

	$body = "<!DOCTYPE html><html lang='en'><head><meta charset='UTF-8'><title>Express Mail</title></head><body>";
	$body .= "<table style='width: 100%;'>";
	$body .= "<thead style='text-align: center;'><tr><td style='border:none;' colspan='2'>";
	$body .= "<a href='{$link}'><img src='{$logo}' alt=''></a><br><br>";
	$body .= "</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr>";
	$body .= "<td style='border:none;'><strong>Name:</strong> {$name}</td>";
	$body .= "<td style='border:none;'><strong>Email:</strong> {$from}</td>";
	$body .= "</tr>";
	$body .= "<tr><td style='border:none;'><strong>Subject:</strong> {$csubject}</td></tr>";
	$body .= "<tr><td></td></tr>";
	$body .= "<tr><td colspan='2' style='border:none;'>{$cmessage}</td></tr>";
	$body .= "</tbody></table>";
	$body .= "</body></html>";

    $send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

?>

Example 4: read an email with php

<?php
//Modify it for your project
class Email_reader {

	// imap server connection
	public $conn;

	// inbox storage and inbox message count
	private $inbox;
	private $msg_cnt;

	// email login credentials
	private $server = 'yourserver.com';
	private $user   = '[email protected]';
	private $pass   = 'yourpassword';
	private $port   = 143; // adjust according to server settings

	// connect to the server and get the inbox emails
	function __construct() {
		$this->connect();
		$this->inbox();
	}

	// close the server connection
	function close() {
		$this->inbox = array();
		$this->msg_cnt = 0;

		imap_close($this->conn);
	}

	// open the server connection
	// the imap_open function parameters will need to be changed for the particular server
	// these are laid out to connect to a Dreamhost IMAP server
	function connect() {
		$this->conn = imap_open('{'.$this->server.'/notls}', $this->user, $this->pass);
	}

	// move the message to a new folder
	function move($msg_index, $folder='INBOX.Processed') {
		// move on server
		imap_mail_move($this->conn, $msg_index, $folder);
		imap_expunge($this->conn);

		// re-read the inbox
		$this->inbox();
	}

	// get a specific message (1 = first email, 2 = second email, etc.)
	function get($msg_index=NULL) {
		if (count($this->inbox) <= 0) {
			return array();
		}
		elseif ( ! is_null($msg_index) && isset($this->inbox[$msg_index])) {
			return $this->inbox[$msg_index];
		}

		return $this->inbox[0];
	}

	// read the inbox
	function inbox() {
		$this->msg_cnt = imap_num_msg($this->conn);

		$in = array();
		for($i = 1; $i <= $this->msg_cnt; $i++) {
			$in[] = array(
				'index'     => $i,
				'header'    => imap_headerinfo($this->conn, $i),
				'body'      => imap_body($this->conn, $i),
				'structure' => imap_fetchstructure($this->conn, $i)
			);
		}

		$this->inbox = $in;
	}

}
