The manual page can be found here:
http://www.php.net/mail

basically
Mail($Recipient, $Subject, $Message, $ExtraHeaders);

PHP Code:

<?php

  $From = "me@here.com";

  $Recipient = "john.doe@domain.com";

  $Subject = "Testing...";

  $Message = "This is a test message\n"

  $Message .= "It's only a test...";



  $ExtraHeaders = 'Date: ' . Date("r");

  $ExtraHeaders .= 'From: ' . $Sender;



  Mail($Recipient, $Subject, $Message, $ExtraHeaders) or

    Die("Error sending mail :(");

?>

will this send the message just as it is?
if I use this, what are the things that I should consider/change/add to this script?
I'm in real need of this script but I have no idea how to make use of it

1) will this send the message just as it is?
Yes, it will.

2) if I use this, what are the things that I should consider/change/add to this script?
I guess that would depend on what kind of changes or additions do you want to make. (??)

3) I'm in real need of this script but I have no idea how to make use of it
You can simply run it as-is, but you'll want to use different "$From" and "$Recipient" addresses, as well as different text for the message and subject.

"Will this work?" is best answered by trying it.

Be sure to change any email addresses first.
