PHP Simple E-Mail
The simplest way to send an email with PHP is to send a text
email.
In the example below we first declare the variables ($to,
$subject, $message, $from, $headers), then we use the
variables in the mail() function to send an e-mail:
<?php
$to = "someone@example.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse@example.com";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>
