I am using PHP on a website and I want to add emailing functionality.

I have WampServer installed.

How do I send an email using PHP?

My Answer:
To send an email using PHP, you can use the `mail()` function. Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to send an email using PHP:

php
$to = "recipient@example.com";
$subject = "Test Email";
$message = "This is a test email sent using PHP.";
$headers = "From: sender@example.com";

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo "Email sent successfully.";
} else {
echo "Email sending failed.";
}


Make sure to replace `recipient@example.com` and `sender@example.com` with the actual email addresses you want to send the email to and from. Also, ensure that your WampServer is properly configured to send emails. You may need to configure the SMTP settings in your `php.ini` file.

Additionally, you can use a library like PHPMailer or Swift Mailer for more advanced email sending capabilities and better handling of attachments, HTML emails, and more.
