(PHP 3, PHP 4 )
mail -- send mail
Description
bool mail (string to, string subject, string message [, string
additional_headers])
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.
Example 1. Sending mail.
mail("rasmus@lerdorf.on.ca", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");
|
|
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 newline.
Example 2. Sending mail with extra headers.
mail("nobody@aol.com", "the subject", $message,
"From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\nReply-To: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());

You can also use fairly simple string building techniques to
build complex email messages.
Example 3. Sending complex email.
/* recipients */
$recipient .= "Mary <mary@u.college.edu>" . ", " ; //note the comma
$recipient .= "Kelly <kelly@u.college.edu> . ", ";
$recipient .= "ronabop@php.net";
/* subject */
$subject = "Birthday Reminders for August";
/* message */
$message .= "The following email includes a formatted ASCII table\n";
$message .= "Day \t\tMonth \t\tYear\n";
$message .= "3rd \t\tAug \t\t1970\n";
$message .= "17rd\t\tAug \t\t1973\n";
/* you can add a stock signature */
$message .= "--\r\n"; //Signature delimiter
$message .= "Birthday reminder copylefted by public domain";
/* additional header pieces for errors, From cc's, bcc's, etc */
$headers .= "From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@php.net>\n";
$headers .= |
