PHP - Sending mail with through gmail?

Is there any way to send mail from a gmail account to someone? And by "from" i mean so that it stores the email in the gmail inbox aswell...?

I've tried using imap, but i'm not sure if that's the correct way? Either way i get this error:

Warning: imap_mail() [function.imap-mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in C:\xampp\htdocs\gmail\index.php on line 12

Any idas how to achieve this?

Thanks!

You could do the same thing email clients do: Send your mail through SMTP and then create a mail in the Sent folder through IMAP.

Try using smtp instead, Gmail will put your email in sent folder for you. All the instructions are provided in the settings page of your gmail account.
