It works for about a million others. Show us source code.

That sounds more like email bouncing...
But it could be your sendmail/qmail/exim/fredmail telling you that the User
(see httpd.conf) that PHP runs as (see <?php phpinfo();?>) doesn't have
permission to "forge" email from some other address.
In which case your PHP syntax is fine, but your mail-sending MTA thingie is
not configured correctly.
>How would i set it out using the syntax:

#>mail($to, $from, $subject, $message)
$success = mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $from\r\nReply-to:
$from\r\n");
if (!$success){
print("Failed to send email to $to with subject $subject<BR>\n");
}

Not usually, but most of the settings you have any right to change are
changeable in .htaccess
>And can i set .php to something else, like .he for example?
For example, create a file in your web directory, right next to your HTML
files, and name it ".htaccess" (Yes, the "." is part of the name.)
Put this in it:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .he
Assuming your ISP used the *standard* mime-type (application/x-httpd-php)
all your .he files are now being handled by the PHP Module.
If your ISP didn't use the standard mime-type, you have to ask them what
they used.
If they don't understand the question (scary, but happened to me once) tell
them to do:
grep -i php httpd.conf
and send you the output.
Disclaimer: The ISP in question may actually have simply mis-understood the
question the first time around, and didn't have to actually send me all the
output of the grep on the second go-around...
