How does the mail function work(PHP)
 

Iv done the same thing as this example.
But i cant seem to get it working, running the script threw the shell
only gives me errors on every line, and running it threw the website doesnt give any results either :(
Is there any other easy way of creating a function where people can click on a
button to email me instant.



<?php
mail("joecool@example.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");
?>

EDIT:
ps. should i use <form action="mail.php" method="post" or "get"> ???

What errors do you get?

You can use post or get, as the names suggest though one is for sending data and one is for requesting data.
