Mailto function in php

any alternatives

[malcolmcroucher]

I have a form with a contact us on the bottom of it .

I have been using a mail to function :

action="MAILTO: [e-mail]"

however I notice that this method opens outlook , and the user has to confirm if they wish to send a message through outlook.

I am wondering if there is an alternative to this which does not use outlook ?

Regards

>>action="MAILTO: [e-mail]"

That's HTML, not a PHP function.

Here's the documentation on the PHP mail() function [php.net]
