That is an ill-conceived approach as it presupposes the availability of an
e-mail client application. In a decade where Google Mail is widely used,
such a program to be installed *and* properly configured on the client
computer is even more improbable than it was in the previous decade, of
Internet cafés.

In any case, `mailto:' *does* work to that extent in a "PHP file" (you
should think of "PHP files" as scripts, as *computer programs* instead).
But it will never, anywhere, automatically submit the e-mail.

Use a form-mailer instead.
