sending mail from a client side php script

I would like to send mail from a client side php script.

How may I do this please?

 

Thanks in advance

Client side php script. That makes no real sense.

 

To send mail using php you can use mail or the phpMailer class which can be found via google.

Sorry I was not clearer. Ubuntu supports client side php and my small php program works on Ubuntu except that the mail function does not seem to send mail.

Do you have a mail server installed on your Ubuntu machine?

I have Postfix installed but I'm not sure if that is enough to enable SMTP to work.

That isn't exactly client side php as it actually turns your machine into a server. Postifx (and its dependencies) should be sufficient if configured correctly.

Thanks and point taken.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Postfix and realised that I had wrongly chosen the Local  option instead of the Internet option for the Postfix configuration.

I've now succeeded in sending emails from my PC by running my php script on it.

 

So thanks everyone is solving my problem and for the "education".
