|Hello and welcome. Today I will teach you how to create an email script particularly when you are registering a user onto a website.
|-
|0:12
|How do you send them an email confirming that they have registered. I will do that partly by creating a script - a "Send me an email" script.
|-
|0:24
|This will be in an HTML form in which you can write a subject and a message and send to a specified address.
|-
|0:34
|So, we will create an address variable.
|-
|0:39
|I will type my "hotmail" address here.
|-
|0:48
|You can see when I open up my current "hotmail" page and click on "Inbox", there are no emails here from me.
|-
|0:55
|There are no new emails at the moment.
|-
|1:05
|So This is the address in my address variable. I will rename the variable as "to" instead.
|-
|1:13
|We will use the mail function to send this out.
|-
|1:17
|We will have the from and subject in here.
|-
|1:21
|We will have a standard subject which says "Email from PHPAcademy".
|-
|1:32
|Next we need an HTML form that will submit. I will create a self submission one.
|-
|1:39
|So lets put some html code here. I will have a form here which will submit to this page with "send me an email dot php".
|-
|1:54
|The method is going to be POST.
|-
|1:59
|We will end our form here.
|-
|2:02
|The user can type in whatever they want to send to the email address that is specified here.
|-
|2:10
|Obviously you can take this into account. When creating a form, you could say you want to send to this particular address.
|-
|2:18
|This one will just be "send me an email" script - the email that you want to include in one of your website.
|-
|2:27
|Now we will have a "text" input.
|-
|2:31
|This will be the name of the person sending me the email.
|-
|2:34
|So you have type "text" whose name is "name"
|-
|2:39
|We'll have "max length" equal 20 for now.
|-
|2:45
|Underneath this we will create a text area.
|-
|2:49
|So I will type "textarea" and end it like that.
|-
|2:53
|Then we will name it as "message".
|-
|2:59
|We put a paragraph beginning and a paragraph ending here
|-
|3:04
|And down here we will create a submit button whose value equals "Send"

|-
|3:14
|Or.... "Send me this", okay?
|-
|3:17
|So if you come to our page and choose this page here
|-
|3:21
|this is the space for the name and this is the space for the message.
|-
|3:25
|So let me just put "Name:" in here and "Message:" in here.
|-
|3:31
|And this will look much better now. We have our name box and our message box.
|-
|3:38
|And when we click this button, the email will send.
|-
|3:44
|Okay so first of all inside our php code we need to check whether the submit button has been pressed.
|-
|3:53
|For that we have our "if" statement here in parenthesis and our curly brackets for our block if the condition is TRUE.
|-
|4:01
|The condition will be inside these parenthesis.
|-
|4:05
|The condition will be the post variable of the "submit" button.
|-
|4:15
|As long as the submit button has a value.... a spelling mistake....
|-
|4:19
|So long as the submit button has been pressed, this will contain a value and that value is "Send me this".
|-
|4:30
|That would just mean that the form has been submitted because the button has been pressed.
|-
|4:37
|So inside here the first thing we need to do is get the data from the form.
|-
|4:44
|And that is the name of the person sending the email by submitting the form.
|-
|4:49
|And their name is contained within this form here - sorry this field here called "name".
|-
|4:56
|Also we have the message so we can easily duplicate this variable structure and say message in there.
|-
|5:08
|To test this out I'll say echo name.
|-
|5:12
|And I'll concatenate the message into that.
|-
|5:17
|Lets just test this out. Here I'll type "Alex".
|-
|5:21
|And here I will type "Hi there!"
|-
|5:23
|Click "Send me this" and we get "Alex" and "Hi there!" up there.
|-
|5:28
|Ok so, we know that the form data has been submitted correctly.
|-
|5:33
|In the next part of this video we will learn how to validate this and eventually send this mail to the user specified in this email-id here.
|-
|5:42
|So join me in the next part. Bye for now.
