$subject="testmail";
$message="this is test mail from php";
$to="****@****.com";//for an example
$status=mail($to,$subject,$message);

{
echo "Mail successfully Send";
}
?>when i execute this script, it displays the following error., why this error?
mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing
Try this:
/* To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. */
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
/* additional headers */
$headers .= "To: Mary <mary@example.com>, Kelly <kelly@example.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Birthday Reminder <birthday@example.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Cc: birthdayarchive@example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: birthdaycheck@example.com\r\n";
/* and now mail it */
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);or check this for your error:

Change your mail command to
$status=mail($to,$subject,$message,"From:<from@email.com>");
This will show the email coming from from@email.com but you can change that to what you want.

Try this and see if it works, but you may have to modify it to reflect your form fields:
$subject="Name: ".$name."
Email: ".$email."
Message: ".$message."
";
$subject = stripslashes($subject);
