How to send email with php using mail and mb_send_mail ...

There is no php coding required when using Arclab Web Form Builder.
The following should illustrate how to send an email from php in general:

 

What the difference between php mail and mb_send_mail?

 

 

How to call it?

The syntax is much the same:

 

mail()

bool mail ( string $recipient , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] )

 

mb_send_mail()

bool mb_send_mail ( string $recipient , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameter ]] )

Text Message Sample Code:

$recipient = 'recipient@yourdomain.tld';
$headers = 'From: sender@yourdomain.tld';
$subject = 'Hello World';
$message = 'This is a test';
mail ($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers);

 

HTML Message Sample Code:

$recipient = 'recipient@yourdomain.tld';
$headers = 'From: sender@yourdomain.tld';
$headers .="MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
$subject = 'Hello World';
$message = '<html><body><h1>This is a test</h1></body></html>';
mail ($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers);

 

Add the MIME-Version and the Content-Type to the mail header if you want to send a message in HTML format.
The MIME-Version is 1.0 and the Content-Type is "text/html" for a HTML message.
In this sample we use the charset "iso-8859-1" ... if you want to use mb_send_mail, set the charset to "utf-8" instead.
