PHP has a function made for this exact purpose.
Mail($to, $subject, $body)
Do some research on it, it's not hard to use.

If you're determined not to use the mail function or need something more advanced, try phpMailer.
Good luck,

Thank you for your reply, but what do I put for the smtp settings. Would it have something to do with my Internet service provider, would it be localhost? I'm confused 
btw (I don't have an email client on windows)

This would be the same server you'd use to set up an e-mail client... if you used one =)

No I'm not getting anywhere with this.
I think my mail SMTP is mail.btinternet.com
It returned successful when I did a telnet on port 25.
Start > run > (type in cmd)
I changed my php.ini file to match this, restarted the services yet I still get an authentication problem. I think it is because I don't have an email client....
