Once you will add above code to your web page you will get a simple HTML form (shown below). You can add more fields in this form according to your needs and requirements.

Step-2: Now add this php code in notepad file and save it as “send-email.php” and change the email address (highlight below) and add your email address through which you can get feedback’s.

<?php
if(isset($_POST[’email’])) {

// EDIT THIS LINE AND ADD YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
$email_to = “admin@ideascell.com“;
$email_subject = “feed back form”;

function died($error) {
// your error code can go here
echo “We are very sorry, there is an error appears in the form therefore it couldnot be submitted. “;
echo “These errors appear below. ”;
echo $error.” ”;
echo “Please go back and fix these errors and try again. ”;
die();
}

// validation expected data exists
if(!isset($_POST[‘first_name’]) ||
!isset($_POST[‘last_name’]) ||
!isset($_POST[’email’]) ||
!isset($_POST[‘telephone’]) ||
!isset($_POST[‘comments’])) {
died(‘We are very sorry, there is an error appears in the form therefore it couldnot be submitted.’);
}

$first_name = $_POST[‘first_name’]; // required
$last_name = $_POST[‘last_name’]; // required
$email_from = $_POST[’email’]; // required
$telephone = $_POST[‘telephone’]; // not required
$comments = $_POST[‘comments’]; // required

$error_message = “”;
$email_exp = ‘/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/’;
if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
$error_message .= ‘Please enter a valid email address. ’;
}
$string_exp = “/^[A-Za-z .’-]+$/”;
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) {
$error_message .= ‘Please enter a valid email address Name. ’;
}
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$last_name)) {
$error_message .= ‘Please enter a valid email address Name. ’;
}
if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
$error_message .= ‘The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid. ’;
}
if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
died($error_message);
}
$email_message = “Form details below.\n\n”;

function clean_string($string) {
$bad = array(“content-type”,”bcc:”,”to:”,”cc:”,”href”);
return str_replace($bad,””,$string);
}

$email_message .= “First Name: “.clean_string($first_name).”\n”;
$email_message .= “Last Name: “.clean_string($last_name).”\n”;
$email_message .= “Email: “.clean_string($email_from).”\n”;
$email_message .= “Telephone: “.clean_string($telephone).”\n”;
$email_message .= “Comments: “.clean_string($comments).”\n”;

// create email headers
$headers = ‘From: ‘.$email_from.”\r\n”.
‘Reply-To: ‘.$email_from.”\r\n” .
‘X-Mailer: PHP/’ . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
