You need to install sendmail in your server and then your php script will work:

yum install sendmail

Do you assume that was not loaded there at all.
I would recommend you reinstall whole script not only small parts of it.
Hope that helps

You can remove sendmail from your server:

yum remove sendmail

and then install it again:

yum install sendmail

or you can follow the instruction which can be found at http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/doc8.12/op-sh-1.html#sh-1 and compile/install sendmail manually.

If you don’t want to depend on yum for packages which don’t need others (don’t have dependencies) just remove them with rpm via

rpm -e package_name

and than re-install them via

rpm -ivh package_name

Thanks
