26115The 'make your own php mail form' tutorialhttp://home.no.net/ingernet/tutorial.phpThis is a recipe for a 'simple yet powerful' mail form. Copy the highlighted areas and save them as 4 files as shown. Or download the zip file. Replace "John Doe" with your real name and email address. Style to your liking. Your address will neither be visible on any page nor detected by spambots.
You will receive the mail marked as coming from the form, and your guest will automatically receive a copy of the mail (s)he sent (provided correct email address is entered).

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.
This lesson is aimed at teaching you how to send email from your website using PHP. I will try to cover as many possible ways to send email that I can.
