php smtp mail function - php

Question

can i have this function send email through smtp?
function send()
{
if(mail($this->to, $this->subject, $this->body, $this->headers)) return TRUE;
else return FALSE;
}
this is part of following code:
class sendMail
{
var $to;
var $cc;
var $bcc;
var $subject;
var $from;
var $headers;
var $html;
function sendMail()
{
$this->to = "test#mail.com";
#$this->to = "test#test.com";
$this->cc = NULL;
$this->bcc = NULL;
$this->subject = NULL;
$this->from = NULL;
$this->headers = NULL;
$this->html = FALSE;
}
function getParams($params)
{
$i = 0;
foreach ($params as $key => $value) {
switch($key) {
case 'Submit':
NULL;
break;
default:
if ($key == 'email')
{
$this->from = $value;
$this->subject ="Contactgegevens from " . $value . " at www.webandeve.nl ";
}
$this->body[$i]["key"] = str_replace("_", " ", ucWords(strToLower($key)));
$this->body[$i++]["value"] = $value;
}
}
}
function setHeaders()
{
$this->headers = "From: $this->from\r\n";
if($this->html === TRUE) {
$this->headers.= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$this->headers.= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
}
}
function parseBody()
{
$count = count($this->body);
for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
if($this->html) $content.= "<b>";
$content .= $this->body[$i]["key"].': ';
if($this->html) $content.= "</b>";
if($this->html) $content .= nl2br($this->body[$i]["value"])."\n";
else $content .= $this->body[$i]["value"];
if($this->html) $content.= "<br>\n";
else $content.= "\n".str_repeat("-", 80)."\n";
}
if($this->html) {
$content = "
<style>
BODY {
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 10;
}
</style>
".$content;
}
$this->body = $content;
}
function send()
{
if(mail($this->to, $this->subject, $this->body, $this->headers)) return TRUE;
else return FALSE;
}
function set($key, $value)
{
if($value) $this->$key = $value;
else unset($this->$key);
}
function get_location()
{
return header('Location: thankyou.htm');break;
}
}
I've been looking for a simple solution but cannot find any (for my knowledge of php) but Git and some full replacements of my script.

If you want to use your SMTP mail config with the mail() function you need to set the SMTP config in your php.ini.
See E-Mail configuration for details.
However I would recommend the use of a third party lib like PHPMailer
