The mail() function is an email sending function that comes with the PHP language, but it does not mean that you can use it to send emails directly. To send, you need to configure php.ini email information and support components like sendmail.

The specific method is as follows:

1. Download the sendmail software (if you are using xampp, it is included directly), unzip it to the D drive, and fill in the sendmail.path in the following steps. ;

2. Configure php.ini, the required configuration content is as follows:

[mail function]; For Win32 only.SMTP = localhostsmtp_port = 25; For Win32 only.sendmail_from = 417204900@qq.com; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").sendmail_path ="D:/sendmail/sendmail.exe -t -i"

3. Configure sendmail.ini, the required configuration content is as follows:

smtp_server=smtp.qq.comsmtp_port=25smtp_ssl=autoerror_logfile=error.logdebug_logfile=debug.logauth_username=yourname such as 12@qq.comauth_password=yourpassword such as 123456pop3_server=pop3_username=pop3_password=

Description:

smtp_server=, you need to fill in the smtp server you want to use. You can choose to build it locally, or you can choose an smtp or pop3 server from 163, QQ, or gmail (if it is gmail, the server needs to enable ssl_module modules).

Note that when using it for the first time, it is recommended to remove the ";" in front of debug_logfile=debug.log, so that the specific information of each email sent can be recorded. If an error occurs, it can be found in error.log.

auth_username=, auth_password=You need to fill in your stmp account information (you can Google it for details). If it is pop3, fill it in accordingly. Just fill in one category.

Code implementation:

<?php
$now = date("Y-m-d h:i:s");
$from_name=&#39;IECspace&#39;;
$from_email =&#39;417204900@qq.com&#39;;
$to=&#39;764739533@qq.com&#39;;
$headers = "From: <$from_name>";
$message= "这是一封来自 <$from_email>的测试邮件.";
$subject = "[$now] 邮件测试";
if (mail($to, $subject,$message,$headers)) {
    echo "success!";
} else {
    echo "fail…";
}
?>
