# Email Function ### Sending Emails PHP has a built-in function called `mail()` that allows you to send emails directly from a script. Here's a basic example: ```php ``` In the above example, the `mail()` function takes four arguments: the recipient's email, the email subject, the email body text, and additional headers like 'From' or 'CC'. Here's a more advanced example that sends an HTML email: ```php HTML email

This email contains HTML Tags!

Firstname Lastname
John Doe
"; $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n"; mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers); ?> ``` In this example, the `Content-type` header is set to `text/html` to indicate that the email content should be interpreted as HTML. Please note that the PHP `mail()` function requires your server to be configured to send mail. This usually involves setting up an SMTP server, and the configuration details can vary depending on your hosting environment.
