I have PHP 5 running on a hosted ISP. The ISP gives me minimal configuration options via cPanel. Is there any way to use email notification to respond to some given event? I want to send from PHP in the background. Must I specify environment stuff like POP or SMTP? My hosted ISP offers email addresses of course -- does using one of those make things easier? Now that you know how ignorant I am, do you have any general advice on approaching this?

Could you be a bit more specific and tell us what "given event" you'd like to receive a notification about? It's hard to answer your question without understanding what you're trying to monitor.– NickCommented Nov 4, 2011 at 16:17

Merely based on what code is invoked in the PHP files. For example, a specified query against the MySQL data.– SmandoliCommented Nov 4, 2011 at 22:15

Your hosting company may have set up the environment already for you. Have a look at the PHP mail page and write a test script to send yourself an email.
