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.

  1 
  2 mail("rasmus@lerdorf.on.ca", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");
  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.

  1 
  2 mail("nobody@aol.com", "the subject", $message,
  3      "From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\nReply-To: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
