PHP mail() function can automatically send email thru the internet. This is how it’s done.
Example 1. Sending mail.
mail("joecool@example.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");
|
Example 2. Sending mail with extra headers.
mail("nobody@example.com", "the subject", $message,
"From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\r\n"
."Reply-To: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\r\n"
."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");
|
|
You can also use simple string building techniques to build complex email messages.
Example 4. Sending complex email.
/* recipients */
$to = "Mary " . ", " ; // note the comma
$to .= "Kelly ";
/* subject */
$subject = "Birthday Reminders for August";
/* message */
$message = '
Here are the birthdays upcoming in August!
| Person |

1970 |
| Sally |

';
/* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
/* additional headers */
$headers .= "From: Birthday Reminder \r\n";
$headers .= "Cc: birthdayarchive@example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: birthdaycheck@example.com\r\n";
/* and now mail it */
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
