How to send an email with PHP?

There are alot of ways to send email with PHP. I would recommend using a FREE class called PHPMailer, you can download it from http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/

It is very easy to use especially if you wanna send emails with file attachments.

Here is an example on how to send an email with an attachment with PHPMailer

The Code:

require("../PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->From = "test@email.com"; //FROM EMAIL ADDRESS
$mail->FromName = "TEST EMAIL"; //FROM NAME
$mail->Host = "localhost"; //YOUR SMTP SERVER
$mail->Mailer = "smtp"; //PROTOCOL

$mailbody = "
    This is my first test email
";
$mail->Body = $mailbody;
$mail->AltBody = $mailbody;
$mail->Subject = "Test Email with attachment"
$mail->AddAddress('recipient@test.com', 'Recipientname');

$mail->AddAttachment('c:\php.rar', $name = "php.rar", $encoding = "base64",$type = "application/octet-stream");

if(!$mail->Send()){
    echo("The system was unable to send an email. Please Try Again.");
    die();
}else
    echo "Message was send";
$mail->ClearAddresses();
$mail->ClearAttachments();
