Send mail in PHP script

I have a little guestbook script. Visitors use a form to add their comments, their info and comments are written to a database, and they get displayed on a seperate page.

Now I would like to have the script send an email to the admin whenever a new comment is posted.

Can someone help me out?

Greetz!

The simplest solution would be to add something like this:

$to = "ENTER_YOUR_EMAIL";
$subj = "ENTER_YOUR_SUBJECT";

$guest = GET_GUEST_NAME_FROM_SUBMIT_FORM;
$msg = GET_GUEST_MESSAGE_FROM_SUBMIT_FORM;

$message = $guest." wrote:\n\n".$msg;
$header = "From: $to\n";

mail($to, $subj, $message, $header);

PHP:

You will of course need to replace GET_GUEST_NAME_FROM_SUBMIT_FORM, GET_GUEST_MESSAGE_FROM_SUBMIT_FORM with actual variables that holds that data.

I suggest you google for php mail() tutorial and look a little deeper.
