PHP Email Notifications

[losse]

Hi there
Can email notifications be done through php? I was wondering if anyone can give me a layman's terms of how one would work.

say for example you have a database with client info, a client goes in to update their address. Afterwards, the database sends an email to the client saying "thank you for your update"

Any resources would be helpful!

Thanks

Yes it can. there are loads of threads on here about it.
But the function you need is mail(). Info about it is at http://uk.php.net/mail
