function sendMail($to, $subject, $message,$from)
{
$headers = 'From:'. $from . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To:'. $from . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
return TRUE;
else
return FALSE;
}

Here is a simple wrapper

Do you have an MTA installed? What's the output of 
sudo netstat -plutn | grep 25
? If it's empty, run the following command: 
sudo apt-get install sendmail
