I had to learn this to implement a project, I did not find any tutorial that explained everything well so I leave here what to do.
If they like to give upvote for more people to see.
Notes: 1 - In the code you can only put the sender ending in '@ domain_of_site.com' 2 - Services like Hotmail can put the duly authenticated e-mails in the trash folder.
When receiving the sent Email the services of email (gmail ..) can give several problems:
Problem 1: Gmail notifies the recipient that it can not verify that the email was actually sent by the email specified in the sender.
Solution:Tonothavethis"error" you must go to C-Panel go to email > email authentication and enable both DKIM and SPF. In this part if you have any problems, when contacting your hosting service you must get a solution. But in principle just click on two buttons.
Problem 2: Beside the email specified in the code to appear in the sender, the mail server that actually sent the email may appear. Example: "through io.wv.pt" As io.wv.pt is the email server, which varies depending on the company hosting the website.
Solution:
In the code you need to use headers and other parameters, not just the basics.
Code:
<html><head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<?php
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! \nThis is a simple email message.";
$headers = "From: [email protected]";
$headers .= "\r\nReply-To: [email protected]";
$headers .= "\r\nX-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion();
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers,"-f [email protected]");
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>
</html>
(people edit to ask me how you want in terms of formatting. I think the core is good)
