SMTP = localhost

you should put here mail server that you're using. usually its one of your ISP boxes like mail.yourisp.com or similar. unless you're using some web-based e-mail service you can look your SMTP server up from your mail settings, its proabably called "outgoing mail server" or something.

sendmail_from = [e-mail]

replace with your e-mail, obviously.

Hi
Thanks for replying so fast. I think i figured it out. But what if i used Web-based mail....i'm still confused. I want to use this function in one of my pages in my site so that i could get visitor's response in my email..i uploaded the file and it didn't work..
Help me again.

your SMTP host is the one that you use to send out mail from your domain. if you're running the script from your own computer then you can use mail server that your ISP or your company (if you're doing it at work) has provided you with. ask administrators or support for help.

if you're running the script somewhere else you should ask your hosting company support. in that case you CAN'T proabably use mail server specified in your mail settings.
