Correct syntax for mail function is
@mail('<<email-id>>','<<subject>>',<<message>>,<<header>>);

It should work, Why it is not working

As you said you ahve used mail() function and you are not getting kindly place the error you got and how you used mail() function so that I could help you out in this.

One way of using the mail() function is as follows:

PHP Code:
$send_to = "exa@xxx.com";
$subject = "Example";
$message = 'Example Message';
$headers = "From: sas@test.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.

You can also set the default From: in your php.ini.
