does anyone here know how i can send email using php language?

ps:
i do not have an smtp server(that means i have to use a free smtp server), tell me what i need to set (may it be in the php setting or may it be in the code), in order for the php to use the free smtp.
i'm a newbie in php language, so please explain it in general english, for that i said thank you

thanks in advance

//used variable in the code are from some form, you will make
//variable are editable or as much you want to create in your form
//simple mail script starts here//
<?php
echo "<p>Thank you, <b>$_POST[name]</b>, for your message!</p>";
echo "<p>Your e-mail address is: <b>$_POST[email]</b>.</p>";
