Hi

According to the w3schools.com (http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mail.asp) website, PHP requires an installed and working email system, in order to send emails.

Can anybody tell me what king of program this needs to be, where I can get hold of one, and how I install it?

You need an SMTP server. If you don't have one you can use gMail as your SMTP server. http://lifehacker.com/software/email-apps/how-to-use-gmail-as-your-smtp-server-111166.php

For a company, you'll probably want something more professional than Gmail.

It give's a free domain to your email.

Examples:

yourname@yourcompany.com

But you got to learn how to set it up... kind of complicated.

Also It should give you an SMTP server.
