You can send email via Gmail on PHP using PHPMailer .

Example:

require_once('class.phpmailer.php');

$mail             = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->Username   = "yourusername@gmail.com";
$mail->Password   = "yourpassword";          
$mail->Host       = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port       = 587;           

$mail->SetFrom('yourusername@gmail.com', 'Your Name');
$mail->Subject    = "My subject";
$mail->Body    = "My body";

$mail->AddAddress("someone@example.com", "Recipient name");

$mail->Send();
