PHP Email Form and windows server

[sarah2230]

Hi, I am trying to set up a php email form but the website the form is hosted on, is hosted on a windows server. And I am getting this error:

There was an error in the information submitted:

From Email address empty
Please return to the form and fix these errors

I have read this thread which says I should use this line of code: phpini_set("sendmail_from", "[e-mail]"); but I have no idea where to put it in the code for my form.

Hope someone can help as I am a php beginner. The code for my form is included below.

Kind Regards Sarah.

<?
$send_to = "St. Annes Management &amp; Recruitment <[e-mail]>";

$send_cc = array(); 

// Subject. if empty, use value from form ('subject' field)
$subject = "St. Annes Management &amp; Recruitment web enquiry";

// Allowed Referres. Should be empty or list of domains
$referrers = array(); 

// Attachments
$attachment_enabled = 0;

////// Database - write CSV file with data of submitted forms //////////////
$database_enabled = 0;
$database_file = '';

// Fields to collect
// $database_fields = '*' - mean all fields, as in form
// $database_fields = array('from', 'subject') - only 'from', 'subject' fields
$database_fields = '*'; 

////// Redirect user after submitting form 
$redirect_url = 'confirmcontact.html';

////// Auto-Responder
////// You can substitute any of form fields in response by using
////// %field_name% in response text.
//////
$autoresponder_enabled = 1;
$autoresponder_from = $send_to;
$autoresponder_subject = "%subject%";
$autoresponder_message = <<<MSG
