这是非常基本的方法发送纯文本电子邮件使用邮件功能。

<?php
$to = 'SomeOtherEmailAddress@Domain.com';
$subject = 'This is subject';
$message = 'This is body of email';
$from = "From: FirstName LastName <SomeEmailAddress@Domain.com>";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$from);

你也可以在https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer上使用PHPMailer类。

它允许您使用邮件功能或透明地使用smtp服务器。它还可以处理基于HTML的电子邮件和附件，因此您不必编写自己的实现。

这个类是稳定的，它被许多其他项目使用，如Drupal、SugarCRM、Yii和Joomla!

下面是上面页面的一个例子:

<?php
require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php';

$mail = new PHPMailer;

$mail->isSMTP();                                      // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->Host = 'smtp1.example.com;smtp2.example.com';  // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = 'user@example.com';                 // SMTP username
$mail->Password = 'secret';                           // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted

$mail->From = 'from@example.com';
$mail->FromName = 'Mailer';
$mail->addAddress('joe@example.net', 'Joe User');     // Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('ellen@example.com');               // Name is optional
$mail->addReplyTo('info@example.com', 'Information');
$mail->addCC('cc@example.com');
$mail->addBCC('bcc@example.com');

$mail->WordWrap = 50;                                 // Set word wrap to 50 characters
$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz');         // Add attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg');    // Optional name
$mail->isHTML(true);                                  // Set email format to HTML

$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body    = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

if(!$mail->send()) {
    echo 'Message could not be sent.';
    echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
    echo 'Message has been sent';
}

试试这个:

<?php
$to = "somebody@example.com";
$subject = "My subject";
$txt = "Hello world!";
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com" . "\r\n" .
"CC: somebodyelse@example.com";

mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);
?>

用这个脚本发送了电子邮件

<h2>Test Mail</h2>
<?php

if (!isset($_POST["submit"]))
  {
  ?>
  <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];?>">
  From: <input type="text" name="from"><br>
  Subject: <input type="text" name="subject"><br>
  Message: <textarea rows="10" cols="40" name="message"></textarea><br>
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Click To send mail">
  </form>
  <?php
  }

else

  {

  if (isset($_POST["from"]))
    {
    $from = $_POST["from"]; // sender
    $subject = $_POST["subject"];
    $message = $_POST["message"];

    $message = wordwrap($message, 70);

    mail("Test@example.com",$subject,$message,"From: $from\n");
    echo "Thank you for sending an email";
    }
  }
?>

一旦你按下发送电子邮件按钮，电子邮件将被发送到Test@example.com

还可以查看PEAR邮件包PEAR mail Page

它似乎比内置的标准mail()函数健壮一些(如果标准函数不够的话)。

下面是该页面的一段摘录，展示如何使用它。PEAR邮件发送()用法

<?php
    include('Mail.php');

    $recipients = 'joe@example.com';

    $headers['From']    = 'richard@example.com';
    $headers['To']      = 'joe@example.com';
    $headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';

    $body = 'Test message';

    $smtpinfo["host"] = "smtp.server.com";
    $smtpinfo["port"] = "25";
    $smtpinfo["auth"] = true;
    $smtpinfo["username"] = "smtp_user";
    $smtpinfo["password"] = "smtp_password";


    // Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method
    $mail_object =& Mail::factory("smtp", $smtpinfo); 

    $mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);
?> 

   $emailTextHtml='<h1>email sent from php use by phpmailer</h1>';

require 'PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);                          // Passing `true` enables exceptions
try {
    //Server settings
    //$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;                                 // Enable verbose debug output
    $mail->isSMTP();                                      // Set mailer to use SMTP
    $mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';  // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
    $mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
    $mail->Username = 'demo@gmail.com';                 // SMTP username of gmail
    $mail->Password = '2345678';                           // SMTP password of gmail
    $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';                            // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
    $mail->Port = 587;                                    // TCP port to connect to

    //Recipients
    $mail->setFrom('anupam@gmail.com', 'study'); // provide your gmail username 
    $mail->addAddress('komal@gmail.com', 'study');     // Add a recipient
    $mail->addReplyTo('anupamverma@gmail.com', 'Information');

    //Content
    $mail->isHTML(true);                          // Set email format to HTML
     $mail->Subject = 'Register client details and total client details';
     $mail->Body= "$emailTextHtml";    //write the html code
    $mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

    $mail->send();
    echo 'Message has been sent';
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: ', $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
