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

Have a read of http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php

ok, any ideas on a free smtp??

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

That's not quite true. PHP acts as a SMTP server, I believe, and contacts the appropriate mail servers via the SMTP protocol.

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);
?>
