Uhh, well if it is to you, check your inbox :P

If it is to someone else, I don't think you can.

LOL :P

I guess have it send an e-mail to a dummy address that you can check too, so it sends it to two e-mail addresses, yours and his/hers. If you get it, (s)he will have it too

Nah, there is no real way to verify that someone recieved the e-mail you sent, unless you request a reciept verification, or have them click a link or something...

Sending two e-mails, as Voets suggested wouldn't confirm anything. It would only tell you that the PHP script ran successfully, however, the e-mail address does not need to be correct for the script to run successfully. If the e-mail address is correct in the script, then they will recieve their e-mail.
