What are common issues with PHP email scripts and how can they be resolved?

One common issue with PHP email scripts is that emails may end up in the recipient's spam folder. This can be resolved by setting proper headers in the email to ensure it is recognized as a legitimate email.

// Set headers to prevent email from going to spam folder
$headers = "From: Your Name <your.email@example.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: your.email@example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";

// Send the email with the updated headers
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
