How can PHP scripts be integrated into a webpage to ensure that the necessary data is available for sending emails?
To ensure that the necessary data is available for sending emails in PHP scripts integrated into a webpage, you can use HTML forms to collect user input and then process that data using PHP before sending the email. This involves setting up the form with input fields for the necessary information (such as recipient email, subject, message), submitting the form to a PHP script that processes the data and sends the email using the `mail()` function.
<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$to = $_POST['to'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
// Send email
if (mail($to, $subject, $message)) {
echo "Email sent successfully.";
} else {
echo "Email sending failed.";
}
}
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
To: <input type="email" name="to"><br>
Subject: <input type="text" name="subject"><br>
Message: <textarea name="message"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send Email">
</form>
