Send Emails with PHP

PHP provides a built-in function called mail() that allows you to send emails from your web server. To use this function, you need to specify the recipient's email address, the subject of the email, and the email body. You can also add additional optional parameters to customize the sender's email address, add CC or BCC recipients, or specify other details about the email. In order for the mail() function to work properly, you need to have a mail server configured on your web server. To send an email using PHP, you need to use the mail() function. This function requires three mandatory parameters: the recipient's email address, the subject of the email, and the email body. Here's an example of how you might use the mail() function:

Sending emails with php

<?php
$to = 'recipient@example.com';
$subject = 'Test email';
$message = 'This is a test email sent using PHP.';

mail($to, $subject, $message);

In this example, the mail() function sends an email to recipient@example.com with the subject "Test email" and the message "This is a test email sent using PHP."

You can also add additional optional parameters to the mail() function to customize the sender's email address, add CC or BCC recipients, or specify other details about the email. For more information, you can check out the PHP documentation for the mail() function:

Keep in mind that in order for the mail() function to work properly, you need to have a mail server configured on your web server. If you're not sure how to do this, you may want to consult your web host or a PHP expert for assistance.
