how to send email from php code example
Example 1: php mail

$body .= "<table style='width: 100%;'>";
$body .= "<thead style='text-align: center;'><tr><td style='border:none;' colspan='2'>";

$body .= "</body></html>";
$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
?>
Example 3: read an email with php
<?php
//Modify it for your project
class Email_reader {
// imap server connection
public $conn;
// inbox storage and inbox message count
private $inbox;
private $msg_cnt;
// email login credentials
private $server = 'yourserver.com';
private $user = '[email protected]';
private $pass = 'yourpassword';
private $port = 143; // adjust according to server settings
// connect to the server and get the inbox emails
function __construct() {
$this->connect();
$this->inbox();
}
// close the server connection
function close() {
$this->inbox = array();
$this->msg_cnt = 0;
imap_close($this->conn);
}
// open the server connection
// the imap_open function parameters will need to be changed for the particular server
// these are laid out to connect to a Dreamhost IMAP server
function connect() {
$this->conn = imap_open('{'.$this->server.'/notls}', $this->user, $this->pass);
}
// move the message to a new folder
function move($msg_index, $folder='INBOX.Processed') {
// move on server
imap_mail_move($this->conn, $msg_index, $folder);
imap_expunge($this->conn);
// re-read the inbox
$this->inbox();
}
// get a specific message (1 = first email, 2 = second email, etc.)
function get($msg_index=NULL) {
if (count($this->inbox) <= 0) {
return array();
}
elseif ( ! is_null($msg_index) && isset($this->inbox[$msg_index])) {
return $this->inbox[$msg_index];
}
return $this->inbox[0];
}
// read the inbox
function inbox() {
$this->msg_cnt = imap_num_msg($this->conn);
$in = array();
for($i = 1; $i <= $this->msg_cnt; $i++) {
$in[] = array(
'index' => $i,
'header' => imap_headerinfo($this->conn, $i),
'body' => imap_body($this->conn, $i),
'structure' => imap_fetchstructure($this->conn, $i)
);
}
$this->inbox = $in;
}
}
?>
A fair amount of this is
