mail — send mail

Description

void 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 space 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("ssb@guardian.no", "the subject", $message,

"From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());
