You can simply use php mail function with all the parameters for example mail ( $to ,$subject , $message, $headers ); Where $to, $subject, $message are php variables to contains their respective values. as you are posting data from the form so you can make $message from form. like $message = $_POST['FORM_FIELD_NAME'];

and $headers you set according to your requirement. For example

$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: My Name <myemail@address.com>' . "\r\n";
