These days E-mail is the powerful way of communicating with each other without spending a single buck. If you are  a Php developer and wish to send e-mail by using Php then you are at the right place. Here i am going to tell you how you can send plain text email, HTML email and email with attachment by php email form.

mail($to,$subject,$message,$header)

$to : E-mail address of the receiver(Required).

$subject : E-mail subject(Required).

$message : E-mail message body(Required).

$header : for sending additional information like sender email, reply to etc.(Optional)
