Learn how to create a simple mail sender class in PHP. Sending emails with PHP is a lot easier than you would think, however you need to care about some settings to avoid moving your emails into a spam folder.
A contact form or an email form is often a critical part of a website, in allowing users to contact you regarding one or more issues. It is common in this day and age, not to provide a direct email address on your website in order to try and prevent yourself from receiving spam emails in the future. However, what many webmasters would do is to use a form mail script, which usually still contains the email address hidden in the form. Nowadays, email harvesters (programs that search the internet for email addresses) can search both visible and non visible text for email addresses.
