How can I create an email autoresponder using PHP?

You'd probably do best to use a program called procmail.

    http://www.procmail.org

Using procmail you can set up filters to run when mail is received. 
That filter might be the execution of a perl or php script (the mail is
just sent to stdin).

In fact, procmail can do autoresponding anyway, see:

    man 5 procmailex

for some examples.

You may well find that procmail is already installed on your system...
