How do I send an email using PHP?

Sending email from PHP is a lot easier than having to send email via ASP. With PHP, you simply use the mail command, its format is below :-

     mail(TO,SUBJECT,MESSAGE,FROM);

An example is below :-

     mail('AUser@AnUnbelievablyLongWebSiteAddress.com','Demo Email','Just thought I'd say hello.','From: Admin@(YourSite)');

It won't fake an email address so don't try replacing (YourSite) with say Microsoft.com.
