$send_to = "foo@bar.com";
$subject = "Test";
$message = 'This is a test.';
$headers = "From: arijith@mysite.com";
$headers .= "\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($send_to, $subject, $message, $headers);
This code adds two headers. You could add others or comment out the second one. If multiple headers are present they need to be separated by a carriage return/line feed as shown.
You can also set the default From: in your php.ini.
If you're sending mail using the Pear mail classes or some other method, you'll have to look at the API to determine how to specify the From: field.
