    I have a custom form built with HTML in a PHP template and now I want to know how can I send an email when someone submits this form. I should receive this email btw.
    I searched online and they are suggesting using SMTP plugin but this plugin needs API key which I cannot get. I tried using the in-built mail function but after searching online they said that we should not use this function. Now How I can send email?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • You might be overthinking this. What happens if you just use wp_mail()?

    Who’s “they”? wp_mail() is a great and powerful function

    I talked with my hosting provider support and asked them and he suggests that I should use mail smtp plugin instead of the mail function because hackers might hack data if you use this function. But he said this about PHP mail function not WordPress inbuilt wp_mail function
    I am trying to go with wp_mail function in my code
    thanks
