Abstract
E-mail has become one of the key means of electronic communication. PHP includes function support for e-mail creation and interactivity. In this chapter we introduce the mail() function which is widely used within PHP scripts in order to send raw text, HTML and MIME-type messages to one or more recipients at the same time. In addition to demonstrating how to use this function in its basic form, we shall also examine some of the mail() function’s more advanced features. These include the means to enable extra headers to be defined, change the type of the e-mail being sent, define reply addresses and other useful attributes.
