sendmail function

[rockstarmike]

hi, im still new to php.
i wondering if someone could give me a quick breakdown of the sendmail function, how i'd set it up and a few other pointers.
this is pretty much how i want it to function, given that i can do the same things i used to do with asp

Request strings from the form and make them variables
how do i do that
asp was like
sName = Request("name")

so i want do do that with a few different things
then
put it together like

to: [e-mail]
from: sEmail
Body: sName <br> sPhone <br> sEmail <br> sBodytext

throw me a bone y0!

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

<?php
$sName 	= $_GET("name"); // or = $_POST("name") 
$sEmail	= $_GET("Email"); // or = $_POST("Email") 
$sPhone	= $_GET("Phone"); // or = $_POST("Phone")
$sBodytext = $_GET("Bodytext"); // or = $_POST("Bodytext")  

$mTo	= "[e-mail]"; 
$mBody  = "$sName \n $sPhone \n $sEmail \n $sBodytext";
$mHeader = "From: $sEmail";

mail($mTo, "My Subject", $mBody, $mHeader);
?>
