PHP have a feature which allows you to send the mail from the server using mail() function.

In order to sent mail using php it requires three mandatory parameters

And the more optional parameters like headers and others …

Syntax for PHP mail function..

mail( to, subject, message, headers, parameters );

Example :

<?php

$to = “some@evernews.online, me@evernews.online”;

$subject = “The test email from php”;

$message = “

<html>

<head>

<title>Here Goes the test email</title>

</head>

<body>

<p>The php email from php interview questions </p>

<table>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

“;

// setting the content-type for sending HTML email

$headers = “MIME-Version: 1.0” . “rn”;

$headers .= “Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8” . “rn”;

// More headers for sender and CC

$headers .= ‘From: <php@evernews.online>’ . “rn”;

$headers .= ‘Cc: me@evernews.online‘ . “rn”;

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

Here ,

$to stand for the receiver

$subject as subject line

$message as the message body

$headers as optional parameters
