In looking at the PHP code, you can see it doesn't take much. First, the four chunks of data
from the HTML5 page are passed to four PHP variables:
$name
$email
$comments
$subject
Next, the
$comments
variable is concatenated with information about the sender's name and
e-mail address. h en, using the
mail()
function, the program uses the following line to send
everything to the Web site owner:
mail
(
$eBiz
,
$subject
,
$comments
);
Finally, a simple message is sent to the user who sent the e-mail. Figure 16-6 shows the e-mail
received by Wazoo Web Site Design and Development.

By having an automatic e-mail page on your site, you (or your clients) can generate far more
business. h e key to using some kind of Web-generated e-mail is to make it easy for the user
to send an e-mail and generate more business for the site.
