$email = $_POST["email"];
$phone = $_POST["phone"];
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
// Recipient email
$toMail = "[email protected]";
// Build email header
$header = "From: " . $name . "<". $email .">\r\n";
// Send email
if(mail($toMail, $subject, $message, $header)) {
echo "Mail send";
} else {
echo "Mail not send";
