Pachuco Cadaver asked:

It goes something like this:
usually apache is configured to process php in pages that end with “.php”. those pages can contain plain html too. if you want to run the php handler on a page that ends in “.html”, there are ways to do that too, but i don’t know if that’s what your after.
Name:
Email:
There’s a basic Email form for yah, not sure where you were getting at
Two ways: the simple one for amateurs and the complex one for professionals (much more efficient).
SIMPLE:
…
mailto:… find details in w3schools.com
COMPLEX:
in calling file (something.html)
…
in receiving file (email.php)
treat the data from the form (variables: $_POST [ ' variablename ' ] )
Build $headers, $subject, $message, $to
$res = mail ($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
for more details:, search “mail” in functions.
It get more complex to add file uploads, attachments etc…
Please email me if you need more explanation.
Typically the form action in the HTML links to the PHP that has the form processing information.
The mailer.php is a generic thing I put there but it would be whatever you use (I use Jack’s formmail). The php file would be where you put the information relating to who the email gets delivered to and the message a user gets when they fill out the form.
The simple way is just need to make a form (inside a something.html) for posting the items´s value and send those item´s value to another page(ie: email.php) through form method “POST” or “GET” But u should use to POST method. Once you got those values into email.php then just write this following below code.
in calling file (something.html)
…
in receiving file (email.php)
variables: $_POST [ ' variablename ' ] )
Build $headers, $subject, $message, $to
$res = mail ($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
