Using SwiftMailer

Asked by MarleneAyers in PHP Scripting Language

Attached is my Swiftmailer code. This is supposed to be a form letter on a php page that a user clicks, completes his first and last name and then  sends to a city council email address. I want the return and reply address to show as the users email address BUT In order for this to work, my isp says I have to use a return email that is a valid email name from my domain. I am not sure how to accomplish what I am after. I was going to use a simple mailto() link but after some research discovered that is not very reliable.Start Free Trial

<p>Dear City Council Member,</p>
 
<p style="text-align:left;">I am writing in support of the Burbank Community YMCA.  I know there is a proposal pending 
asking the City Council to grant a loan to the YMCA to enable the purchase property on San Jose
Avenue.  This property would then be converted into additional parking spaces for the YMCA, 
alleviating the current parking shortfall and related safety issues.</p>
 
<p style="text-align:left;">I urge you to grant the Burbank Community YMCA's full request. Doing so would be in the best
interest of supporting the long term health of this organization and the Burbank Community YMCA.
Please vote "YES"" to grant this loan.</p>

Respectfully,<br>
{FIRST_NAME} {LAST_NAME}<br>
