    $headers = "From: goeboekimutcs@gmail.com";
    mail($to, $subject, $content, $headers);

; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with fakemail for forwarding to your mailbox (sendmail.exe in the sendmail folder)
sendmail_path = "\"D:\Programs\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe\" -t"

; XAMPP: Comment out this if you want to work with mailToDisk, It writes all mails in the D:\Programs\xampp\mailoutput folder
; sendmail_path="D:\Programs\xampp\mailtodisk\mailtodisk.exe"

It is better to use some third party library for sending emails like PHPMailer which saves you a lot of headaches. All you need to do is set some initial configurations.
