Introduction
I will describe simple mail In PHP. For sending mail in PHP, I am using the mail() function. This function accepts five parameters. I have designed a simple contact mail form and sent mail from localhost. PHP e-mail code is used here. This code uses configuration settings in the php.ini file. With PHP you can create contact forms on your website. The mail() function is part of the PHP core.
Syntax

| To |

| Subject |
Specific subject of the E-mail. |

$headers = "$from"; mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Email successfully sent.";
}
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form" method="post" action="" >
<table bgcolor=#ffffcc align=center>
<tr><td colspan=2><strong>Contact us using this form:</strong></td></tr>
<tr><td><font color=red>*</font> Name:</td><td><input size=25 name="Name"></td></tr>
<tr><td><font color=red>*</font> Email:</td><td><input size=25 name="Email"></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2>Message:</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=2 align=center><textarea name="Message" rows=5 cols=35 id="message"></textarea></td></tr>

</form>

</html>
This code is used for mail in PHP but you can use this code temporarily in our project and this script works in a live project. You cannot send mail from localhost otherwise this error is generated.
