  • Through PHPMailer we send the mail, which have these attribute or fields Subject, Email, Message and Attachment.

ADVANTAGES OF PHPMAILER:

  • It can print various kinds of errors messages, when it fails to send an email.
  • We can send email as Plain text, HTML and multipart batched files.
  • It support SMTP (SSL and TLS).

NOW WE START WITH CODING:-

Index.php

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport"
          content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>Contact Form</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-/Y6pD6FV/Vv2HJnA6t+vslU6fwYXjCFtcEpHbNJ0lyAFsXTsjBbfaDjzALeQsN6M" crossorigin="anonymous">
</head>
<body>
	<div class="container" style="margin-top: 100px">
		<div class="row justify-content-center">
			<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3 developerguidance" align="center">
				<h2 class="title">DEVELOPER GUIDANCE</h2><br><br>
                <?php if ($msg != "") echo "$msg<br><br>"; ?>
				<form method="post" action="mail.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
					<input class="form-control" name="subject" placeholder="Subject..."><br>
					<input class="form-control" name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email..."><br>
					<textarea placeholder="Message..." class="form-control" name="message"></textarea><br>
					<input class="form-control" type="file" name="attachment"><br>
					<input class="btn btn-primary" name="submit" type="submit" value="Send Email">
				</form>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</body>
</html>

Now we add PHP code to check the condition and send the form on mail

Put this css in index.php

body{background-color: #fff;}
	.developerguidance{
		    box-shadow: 0 10px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2),0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.19) !important;
	}
	.title{
			 padding-top: 10px;
	}
	.btn{
		    margin-bottom: 10px;
	}

First we download the PHPMailer library through link
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer

Mail.php

$msg = "";
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
include_once "PHPMailer/PHPMailer.php";
include_once "PHPMailer/Exception.php";
include_once "PHPMailer/SMTP.php";
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
		$subject = $_POST['subject'];
		$email = $_POST['email'];
		$message = $_POST['message'];
		if (isset($_FILES['attachment']['name']) && $_FILES['attachment']['name'] != "") {
			$file = "attachment/" . basename($_FILES['attachment']['name']);
			move_uploaded_file($_FILES['attachment']['tmp_name'], $file);
		} else
			$file = "";
		$mail = new PHPMailer();
		$mail->addAddress('[email protected]');
		$mail->setFrom($email);
		$mail->Subject = $subject;
		$mail->isHTML(true);
		$mail->Body = $message;
		$mail->addAttachment($file);
		if ($mail->send())
		    $msg = "Your email has been sent, thank you!";
		else
		    $msg = "Please try again!";
		unlink($file);
	}
