Try this basic form using wp_mail(’email address’, ‘subject’, ‘message’); function to send out the email
<?php
//require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-blog-header.php');
$my_email = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Testing a form..';
if( isset( $_POST['send'] ) ) {
$text = isset( $_POST['text'] ) ? sanitize_text_field($_POST['text']) : '';
if( $text !== '' ) {
wp_mail($my_email, $subject, $text);
echo '<p>Email sent!</p>';
}
}
?>
<form action="" method="post">
<textarea name="text" placeholder="Enter your message here" rows="4" cols="50"></textarea>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Send" name="send" />
</form>
I tried this code and when i choose send, the message “email sent” is appeared but i don’t receive any email.
Something which works is this:
<form action=”MAILTO:[email protected]” method=”post” name=”” enctype=”text/plain”>
Thanks for your help!

Did you add your email address in this line $my_email = '[email protected]'; ? Are you trying to run the email on localhost?
You’re welcome.
Well, i had writen something wrong. It works!
One last question:
My form comsist of a lot of fields. So, should i write the code
$text = isset( $_POST['text'] ) ? sanitize_text_field($_POST['text']) : '';
if( $text !== '' ) {
wp_mail($my_email, $subject, $text);
echo '<p>Email sent!</p>';
}
for each field seperately?

Just add more additional fields in the form (HTML) ie:
<textarea name="text" placeholder="Enter your message here" rows="4" cols="50"></textarea>
<input type="email" name="your_email" placeholder="your email" />
<input type="url" name="your_website" placeholder="your website" />
And to get their values use $_POST asosiated with their name attributes:
$_POST["your_email"]
$_POST["your_website"]
And since you’re just emailing the output to yourself (not inserting to a database) you don’t need to worry about sanitizing or stripping html so as to avoid SQL injection, just, add the values to $text variable which will be sent at the end:
$text = isset( $_POST['text'] ) ? sanitize_text_field($_POST['text']) : '';
$text .= isset( $_POST['my_email'] ) ? "\n" . $_POST['my_email'] : '';
$text .= isset( $_POST['my_email'] ) ? "\n" . $_POST['my_email'] : '';
if( $text !== '' ) {
wp_mail($my_email, $subject, $text);
echo '<p>Email sent!</p>';
}
Have fun with your code 😉
OK! Thanks again for your help!
