Send generic email message if condition is met via php

Does this not satisfy you needs?

There are quite a few examples provided by the community..  Including using If.. checking, etc.

Kent,

Maybe I am just not seeing it. What I want to do is send an email when the state of my garage door changes. I am reading the state of the door using a magnetic switch. Here is the code I am using.

<?php

$switch = exec('/usr/local/bin/gpio read 1');

if ($switch == "1"){
            echo "<img src='garage-door-open.jpeg' width='497px' height='448px'/>";
      }
if ($switch == "0"){
            echo "<img src='garage-door-close.jpeg' width='497px' height='448px'/>";
      }

?>

In addition to echoing the image, I would like to send an email. I have .php file created that when it is loaded in the browser it sends a message. Is there a way I could call that file without displaying it in the browser?

Thanks for the help Kent, I was over thinking it. It was just a matter of creating a function and calling it in the condition.
