    <?php
if (isset($_POST["send"])) {
  $to = $_POST["to"];
  $subject = $_POST["subject"];
  $message = $_POST["message"];
  $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
  $headers = "From: your@email-address.com\r\n";
  if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
     echo "SUCCESS";
  } else {
     echo "ERROR";
  }
}
?>

This is my php code, I have a HTML form and $to, $subject, $message is the input fields of the form, the $_POST["send"] is the button through which I want to send emails after clicking that button

You can't send emails from your localhost server. Get a free PHP server and upload your files using ftp. Following are some free php server providers where you can test your project.

That's true, you can't send emails from localhost, unless you were using a VPS configured with DNS + public IP + email server; If isn't your case, I would recommend sending emails through a SMTP server:

PHP Mail (php.ini configuration)
PHPMailer (library)

For the SMTP server you could use any provider that allows SMTP.

  • I have edited my php.ini file and sendmail.ini according to smtp.gmail.com, so is PHPMailer is still mandatory? – Dipesh Karki Apr 26 '18 at 16:09
  • No, or you change the php.ini configuration to use a SMTP server or you use PHPMailer. It should work if your provider allows remote SMTP access. – hutuh Apr 26 '18 at 16:53
