Using PHP to send form data to an email address.

I'm simply wondering if someone could write out an explanation of what happens when PHP sends form data to an email address. I've seen how PHP uses the post method with input names to get form data. How is that data emailed? What do you have to tell the server to do?

I'm not expecting anyone to write a bunch of script out I'm just curious to what actually goes on.

@burnedfaceless: You got pretty good answers here, relatively quickly. But if you ask more complex questions, as I am sure you will over time, you may find that it takes a day or two to get really good answers. Going forward you might want to consider leaving your questions open for 24 hours. If you plan on doing that, and find that you got a perfect answer immediately, you can always close them earlier.

Thanks for the points and thanks for using EE, ~Ray
