php send mail script by spokes on 03-16-2005 at 09:40 PM
any one know of a script that can send an email to a gmail account (visor.crew@gmail.com)? and i would probably need an smtp server to go with it

Means you didn't read that page, read it! You can send emails using php without use of SMTP servers.

to add a sender you have got to send extra stuff in the headers so your code would look something like
code:
<?php
$yourmail = "blah@gmail.com";
$email = "guy to send too";
$subject = "subject";
$body="body of email";
$headers = "from:$yourmail\n";
mail($email,$subject,$body,$headers);
?>
