Mail functions Mail The mail function allows you to send mail Mail Configuration Directives SMTP string DNS name or IP address of the SMTP server PHP under Windows should use for mail sent with the mail function. sendmail_from string Which "From:" mail address should be used in mail sent from PHP under Windows. sendmail_path string Where the sendmail program can be found, usually /usr/sbin/sendmail or /usr/lib/sendmail configure does an honest attempt of locating this one for you and set a default, but if it fails, you can set it here. Systems not using sendmail should set this directive to the sendmail wrapper/replacement their mail system offers, if any. For example, Qmail users can normally set it to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail. mail send mail Description bool mail string to string subject string message string additional_headers string additional_parameters mail automatically mails the message specified in message to the receiver specified in to. Multiple recipients can be specified by putting a comma between each address in to. Email with attachments and special types of content can be sent using this function. This is accomplished via MIME-encoding - for more information, see http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/sendmimeemailpart1.php or RFC 1896). mail returns &true; if the mail is successfully sent, &false; otherwise. Sending mail. If a fourth string argument is passed, this string is inserted at the end of the header. This is typically used to add extra headers. Multiple extra headers are separated with a carriage return and newline. You must use \r\n to seperate headers, although some Unix mail transfer agents may work with just a single newline (\n). The Cc: header is case sensitive and must be written as Cc: on Win32 systems. The Bcc: header is also not supported on Win32 systems. Sending mail with extra headers. The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass additional parameters to the program configured to use when sending mail using the sendmail_path configuration setting. For example, this can be used to set the envelope sender address when using sendmail. You may need to add the user that your web server runs as to your sendmail configuration to prevent a 'X-Warning' header from being added to the message when you set the envelope sender using this method. Sending mail with extra headers and setting an additional command line parameter. This fifth parameter was added in PHP 4.0.5. You can also use simple string building techniques to build complex email messages. Sending complex email. " . ", " ; //note the comma $to .= "Kelly "; /* subject */ $subject = "Birthday Reminders for August"; /* message */ $message = ' Birthday Reminders for August
