How to send a mail in php using onclick function

[Ravinder_3]

When I click on the button it is not working but when i refresh the page the mails are going.Please suggest me how to solve this problem.

     <button type="submit" title="<?php echo $this->__('Email Me') ?>"  class="button"><span><span><?php echo $this->__('Email Me')?></span></span></button>

<?php
$email=$_POST['email'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$to=$email;
$subject= "New Application";
$message= "Name: ".$name;
$headers= "From: [e-mail]" . "\r\n" .
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Whats the action on your <form> element?

Also, the method name in $this->__('Email Me') does not seem to be valid or is my knowledge of PHP a bit shaky?

Hi, I've seen that in Magento, for internationalization, it's a refer to gettext _():

OK.Can we add variables in subject in mail function

[broj1]

Yes. You can use a variable to prepare a string for the subject. Please note that subject must satisfy RFC 2047. See the PHP mail documentation.
