you use the php.ini file to say if you want to 
1) Call the sendmail prorgram directly. You have to tell where
   you have the sendmail executable located. 
2) use a remote SMTP Server. If you go this route, then 
   you tell it the ip address of the remote server. 

I think that you want to do #2. 

Then on your .php page, you set up a form that when 
run will do someting like:
$rc = mail($to_user, $subject, $msg_body, $mailheaders);
if($rc)
   $mail_message_confirmation = "E-mail has been sent.";
else
   $mail_message_confirmation = "E-mail send <b>FAILED</b>.";

you use the form to get the $to_user, $subject, $msg_body, etc
info.
