Is it necessary to keep the browser open while running a PHP script to send emails, or can the browser be closed?

To send emails using PHP, you do not need to keep the browser open while running a script. You can use the `mail()` function in PHP to send emails in the background without the need for the browser to remain open. This allows you to run the script and close the browser while the emails are being sent.

<?php
$to = "recipient@example.com";
$subject = "Test Email";
$message = "This is a test email.";
$headers = "From: sender@example.com";

// Send email
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
