Answer 1

Download PHPMailer from http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net
Extract to folder phpmailer
Create a file email.php
Paste this code and change the values in blue as you need (I modified the sample code given on the PHPMailer homepage)
<?php
require("phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = "username#gmail.com"; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = "password"; // SMTP password
$webmaster_email = "username#doamin.com"; //Reply to this email ID
$email="username#domain.com"; // Recipients email ID
$name="name"; // Recipient's name
$mail->From = $webmaster_email;
$mail->FromName = "Webmaster";
$mail->AddAddress($email,$name);
$mail->AddReplyTo($webmaster_email,"Webmaster");
$mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap
$mail->AddAttachment("/var/tmp/file.tar.gz"); // attachment
$mail->AddAttachment("/tmp/image.jpg", "new.jpg"); // attachment
$mail->IsHTML(true); // send as HTML
$mail->Subject = "This is the subject";
$mail->Body = "Hi,
This is the HTML BODY "; //HTML Body
$mail->AltBody = "This is the body when user views in plain text format"; //Text Body
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent";
}
?>

function email($to, $subject, $body){
require_once("class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl";
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->Username = "email#domain.com";
$mail->Password = "password";
$mail->SetFrom("anything#domain.com", "Any Thing");
if(is_array($to)){
foreach($to as $t){
$mail->AddAddress($t);
}
}else{
$mail->AddAddress($to);
}
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $body;
$mail->Send();
unset($mail);
}
Download http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ and name it "class.phpmailer.php"
