$sub = \"Php Mail\";
$msg = \"Test Message From PHP\";

mail($to, $s         


        

Answer 1

<?php
$to = "somebody@example.com";
$subject = "My subject";
$txt = "Hello world!";
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com" . "\r\n" .
"CC: somebodyelse@example.com";

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

Answer 2

<?php
if(isset($_POST['send'])){
     $from =  $_POST['femail'];
     $phoneno = $_POST['phoneno'];
     $message = $_POST['message'];
     $carrier = $_POST['carrier'];
     if(empty($from)){
       echo("enter the email");
       exit();

     } 
else if(empty($phoneno)){
   echo("enter the phone no");
     exit();
   }
 elseif(empty($carrier)){
   echo("enter the specific carrier");
   exit();
    }
 else if(empty($message)){
  echo("enter the message");
  exit();
  }
  else{
     $message = wordwrap($message, 70);
     $header = $from;
     $subject = 'from submission';
     $to = $phoneno.'@'.$carrier;
     $result = mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
     echo("message sent to".$to);

  }

  }
?>

Bro it seems that you're using you own PC/localhost/127.0.0.1 server that's why you can't connect to SMTP server. You can only send mail from live server using similar coding with some amendments :) i.e. add one parameter "Header/From".

mail("You@me.com","Answer","Hope You Vote My Answer Up","From: me@you.com");

Answer 4

It seems your From header is not correctly formatted. Try this instead:

$headers =  'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; 
$headers .= 'From: Your name <info@address.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; 

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