Warning: mail(): "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in C:\golegalsource\lSOscar\lsoscar.php on line 163

I created a flash form on my website and am trying to link the output of the form to the coordinator of the project and a copy of the form back to the originator. However, I am unable to generate the required mail functions to

Use this sample code to test email fuction in lsoscar.php or simply pass the From: as explained in the example below

$to = 'nobody@example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@yourdomain.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster@yourdomain.com';

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

For more info on mail() function check http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

check your php.ini for "sendmail_from" and see which email is there, if there is no email, mention one like below
and if there is ; before sendmail_from remove the ; (semicolon)

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = me@example.com

You can use PHPMailer to send mail via SMTP

Problem is.. I have already set the SMTP function and Send_from/Send_path statements in the php.ini file. When I run lsoscar.php?debug=info, the Send_From & Send_path Local & Master Values show no value.
