how can I send a mail

[be12dune09a]

I tryed with
<?
ini_set("SMTP","localhost");
ini_set("smtp_port","25");
mail("giru.cosmin@gmail.com", "ceva", "alceva");
?>

it did not work
instead of localhost I put mail."my_server.com

What OS are you working on?
Probably Windows - the directives you showed are only valid in Windows. What it doesn't say but is assumed is that you have some kind of mail server software running on the machine.
If you don't it will not work.
