Beware of crosswires!
Yes one can send mail (the activity of email) from PHP running on Windows.
I wouldn't bother with loading sendmail (the name of the package) onto a Windows machine!
Take a look at the php.ini's mail section.
There are three lines. One is Unix only - leave commented out.
Uncomment the other two. One is your default 'from' address. The other points PHP at an
SMTP server (can be on
any machine - the PHP server, another in the local network, some remote/ISP on the Internet).
RTFM about mail().
Email from PHP under Windows is in many ways easier than the same under Linux!
