I am gonna start to learn it to night, but was wondering if there was any adjustments that were needed within the php.ini file before I actually start writing up the code.
The function seems staright forward enough to execute, but are there any other things i should know that is required to send email via PHP scripts.
I am using AOL to send and recieve emails.
You need to configure the SMTP server and the sendmail_from address in the php.ini file. If your SMTP server requires authentication you may get errors and it does not deliver messages.
The mail() function is mostly to send simple messages. To send more complex messages (HTML, images, attachments, etc..) you may want to try this class that makes your task easier and compliant with the e-mail standards. The class also comes with a sub-class specialized in deliverying via SMTP with authentication support if necessary:
