Sending message to email address like yahoomail/google mail? (Email notification-php)

[Exequiel]

hello friends, I just want to ask if how i can send a message to any email address like yahoomail/googlemail after i submit the form,

example emails:
exezick143@gmai l.com // google mail,
exezick_85@yaho o.com //yahoo mail
message to send:
sender_name has been replied to your message.
to view it please go to: www.mypage.com/reply_message/ - (this is just a sample link)

public function save_reply()
{
	$theuser = $_POST['theuser'];
	$deskid = $_POST['deskid'];
	$message_reply = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['message_reply']);
			$today = date("m/d/Y h:i:s a");
			session_start();
			$files = (isset($_SESSION['uploadedIMG']))?$_SESSION['uploadedIMG']:'';
			
			$assigned = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM across_help_desk WHERE help_desk_id='$deskid'"));
			
			$insert_reply = mysql_query("INSERT INTO across_help_confirm_message(help_desk_id,assigned,reply_message,sender,sender_status,message_status,attach,date) VALUES('$deskid','$assigned[assigned]','$message_reply','$theuser','1','1','$files','$today')"); 
			
			/*
				code for sending message to email address.
				example emails: 
					exezick143@gmail.com // google mail,
					exezick_85@yahoo.com //yahoo mail
				message to send: 
					sender_name has been replied to your message.
					to view it please go to: www.mypage.com/reply_message/ - (this is just a sample link)
			*/
		
		if($insert_reply)
		{
			$bi = 0;
			$ass = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM across_help_confirm_message WHERE help_desk_id='$deskid'");
			$count_help_id = mysql_num_rows($ass);
			$count_help_id = $count_help_id - 1;
			while($up_message = mysql_fetch_array($ass))
			{
				if($bi < $count_help_id)
				{
					$mess_up = mysql_query("UPDATE across_help_confirm_message SET message_status='2' WHERE help_desk_id='$deskid' AND confirm_message_id='$up_message[confirm_message_id]'");
				}
				$bi++;
			
			}
			
			if($mess_up)
			{
				echo 1;//successfully send
			}
		}
		else
		{
			echo 0;	//not send
		}
	}

any reply is appreciated. . .:) thank you :)

The last variation that we will consider is email with attachments. To send an email with attachment we need to use the multipart/mixed MIME type that specifies that mixed types will be included in the email. Moreover, we want to use multipart/alternative MIME type to send both plain-text and HTML version of the email. Have a look at the example:

<?php 
//define the receiver of the email 
$to = 'youraddress@example.com'; 
//define the subject of the email 
$subject = 'Test email with attachment'; 
//create a boundary string. It must be unique 
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash 
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time())); 
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n 
$headers = "From: webmaster@example.com\r\nReply-To: webmaster@example.com"; 
//add boundary string and mime type specification 
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"PHP-mixed-".$random_hash."\""; 
//read the atachment file contents into a string,
//encode it with MIME base64,
//and split it into smaller chunks
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents('attachment.zip'))); 
//define the body of the message. 
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering 
?> 
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>  
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>" 

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>  
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" 
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hello World!!! 
This is simple text email message. 

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>  
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" 
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

<h2>Hello World!</h2> 
<p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p> 

--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>-- 

--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>  
Content-Type: application/zip; name="attachment.zip"  
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64  
Content-Disposition: attachment  

<?php echo $attachment; ?> 
--PHP-mixed-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>-- 

<?php 
//copy current buffer contents into $message variable and delete current output buffer 
$message = ob_get_clean(); 
//send the email 
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ); 
//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed" 
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed"; 
?>

As you can see, sending an email with attachment is easy to accomplish. In the preceding example we have multipart/mixed MIME type, and inside it we have multipart/alternative MIME type that specifies two versions of the email. To include an attachment to our message, we read the data from the specified file into a string, encode it with base64, split it in smaller chunks to make sure that it matches the MIME specifications and then include it as an attachment.
