The PHP mail() function has to be enabled at the server in order to work. Check with your ISP to see if the function works on your webhosting account, or if they have something else you can use. Some ISPs disable or restrict mail sending capabilities to prevent misuse by spammers.

For mail() function to work, SMTP must be configured on the server. If SMTP is running, use

mail($strTo, $strSubject, $strMessage, "From: From email address");

If you want to send HTML mails, or the mails containing attachment, you will have to alter the 4th parameter in mail function.
