php function send to email code example

Example 1: php mail function

<?php
$to = $_POST['email'];
$subject = "Email Subject";

$message = 'Dear '.$_POST['name'].',<br>';
$message .= "We welcome you to be part of family<br><br>";
$message .= "Regards,<br>";

// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";

// More headers
$headers .= 'From: <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";

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

Example 2: 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
