I saw a lot of messages out there regarding this problem, so, thought i
would post the solution.

To any one getting the error message:
"sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing
when trying to send mail using the mail() function in Windows,

The solution is: whenever you change the php.ini file, you must also
reset the web server. Then all of the PHP variables that you set will
be seen by the server.
