I'm using the mail() function as I used to do in the older versions but what I'm getting is an error =((.

script:
<?php
mail("foo@mail.org","prova","prova da legolas");
?>

error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mail() in /var/www/html/mail.php on line 2

this happens only with php 4.3.0, I read the changelog and ther was nothing reguarding this.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Your php lacks the mail() function because during installation (configure phase) PHP was unable to fund sendmail or equivalent binary on your system.

I followed your link to the manual and found this: 



XLIX. Mail functions
Introduction
The mail() function allows you to send mail. 

Requirements
No external libraries are needed to build this extension.

Installation
There is no installation needed to use these functions; they are part of the PHP core.
