How can one check if sendmail or similar functions are installed on a server for PHP mail functions to work?

To check if sendmail or a similar mail function is installed on a server for PHP mail functions to work, you can use the phpinfo() function to view the configuration settings. Look for the "sendmail_path" directive in the PHP configuration to see if a mail server is specified. If it is not configured, you may need to install sendmail or another mail server on the server.

<?php
// Check if sendmail or similar mail function is configured
phpinfo();
?>
