Hello readers, Today in this blog you'll learn how to Send Emails with PHP & Gmail | Send Mail from Localhost using XAMPP Server. Earlier I have shared a blog on How to configure XAMPP to send Mail from Localhost in PHP? If you haven't still read that blog, I want to suggest you read that blog first.
Generally, in this program, on the webpage, there is a mail send the form with three inputs - email address, subject, and message. When you click on the send button without filling the form completely, there is a display of an alert labeled as "All input fields are required!". And when you filled up all inputs and click on the send button, your mail will be sent to a particular email address that you've provided in the recipient field and there is also display a success message labeled as "Your mail sent successfully to someone email".
If somehow mail can't be sent, there is a display of an alert labeled as "Sorry, failed while sending mail!". If you're feeling difficult to understand what I am saying.
You can copy the codes from the given boxes or download the code files from the given link but I recommend you to download the source code files instead of copying codes. Click here to download code files.
