Send Mail Using mail() Function in PHP

The mail() function allows you to send emails directly from a script. Remember, that most of shared hosting providers require (for security reasons) to use the domain name of your hosting in "FROM" email, e.g. from@yourdomain.com for http://yourdomain.com site.
