Sending Email with PHP - PHP Communication

Example 1. Sending mail.

mail("joecool@example.com", "My Subject", "Line 1nLine 2nLine 3");

Example 2. Sending mail with extra headers.

mail("nobody@example.com", "the subject", $message,
     "From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAMErn"
    ."Reply-To: webmaster@$SERVER_NAMErn"
    ."X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

Example 3. Sending mail with extra headers and setting an additional command line parameter.

mail("nobody@example.com", "the subject", $message,
     "From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME", "-fwebmaster@$SERVER_NAME");
