Example of sending an email with the mail() function in PHP

In this example, an email is sent to the address "<[email protected]>" with the subject "Test Email" and the message text "This is a test email sent using PHP." The "From" header is set to "Sender <[email protected]>".

Note: The mail() function uses the local Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) on the server where the PHP script is running to send the email. Therefore, a configured MTA must be present on the server for the email to be sent successfully.
