| You can just copy and paste all of this code into a blank PHP document. PHP must be enabled on your server for this to work for you. Some servers require SMTP configurations in order to send using the PHP mail function. ini_set() functions and php.ini file help with adding that information if your server requires SMTP validation when using PHP mail(). Watching the video that goes with this may give extra insight into how it works if needed. In the video I discuss more security measure you can place into it besides filtering. |
