Email notification for an order

I need help in guiding me how to do the following:

 

I am trying to set up such way when a visitor uses shopping cart, modify and confirm his order, then he will be asked to enter an email so he can receive his order info in his personal email. At the same time, I will also receive his order info in my designated email address, too.

 

To accomplish this, do I need to make sure that I should have a mail server besides PHP server? I have looked various PHP books in the popular bookstores and could not get any answer about this.

 

Thanks for the advise!

Just checked with my hosting that they do support mail() function. Any additional suggestion as how one can go about adding an order notification to multiple email?

 

Thanks!!!

 

Are you hosting your site youself?

 

If so, you will need to install some kind of mail server. You can get some good free ones.

 

However, most hosting companies have a mail server already, so you can just use the mail() function in PHP.
