mail function

[lucfer]

Hi,

Where can I find the simplest block of php code/articles about sending mail. All that I can find requires me to modify the php server's property files which as a beginner.. I dont have any clue how.

I just need the simplest email function to send simple text message.

Thank you.

Inclu de the mail function to your script.
mail('[e-mail]', 'My Subject', $message);

The functions is affected by settings in php.ini.
So first u must set the SMTP, smtp_port, and sendmail_from in the php.ini file..

What should i put for SMTP and SMTP port?
Can I just put anything?

I test locally so i use my isp's smtp server. You may have to contact your hosting company or isp to find out what it is.
