So, I have my mail script out and fine, it works, but it sends the mail from my user@boru.x10hosting.com... I need it to come from my user@domain.co.cc mail account.

I know there is a way to change it from the php.ini file, but I dont have access to that, so is there a feature of code im missing to do this?

PHP: 
<?php
$to      = 'nobody@example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Use the $headers variable to control the address the email originates from. Copied straight from here

PHP: 
<?php
$to = 'youremail@x10email.com'; /*change this to your email*/
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: user@domain.co.cc' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: user@domain.co.cc' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Try uploading that as a PHP file (editing the top email address) and loading it. It should send you an email.
(I just put changed a couple values from lemon-tree's post.

By adding from address to header you cannot change the address of sending the mail. It just add a email header. But it will show the recipient as the email was sent from the address you entered to the header. But really the email will sent from the address: user@server.x10hosting.com

As you said, the mail() method falsifies the From address; it won't always be right.
The only way to make it work is to connect to an email account and send an email. I'm not sure if there is a way to do that or not.

try to do
PHP: 
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'me@domain.com');
and optional:
PHP: 
ini_set("SMTP","smtp.domain.com" );
before calling mail(). If that doesn't work, you can make an SMTP connect to the server where your mail account is hosted. That needs of course username and password in your script that is opening the connection.

That didnt work either :(

Here is the complete script:

HTML: 
<html>
<title>SMS System | SMS Sent</title>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {background-color: black; color: white}
a {color: red}
p {margin-left: 20px}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<?php

if ($_POST["carriers"] == "vtext") $to = $_POST["num"]."@vtext.com";

if ($_POST["carriers"] == "att") $to = $_POST["num"]."@txt.att.net";

if ($_POST["carriers"] == "lilman") $to = $_POST["num"]."@cingularme.com";

if ($_POST["carriers"] == "next") $to = $_POST["num"]."@messaging.nextel.com";

if ($_POST["carriers"] == "tmo") $to = $_POST["num"]."@tmomail.net";

if ($_POST["carriers"] == "rtb") $to = $_POST["num"]."@messaging.sprintpcs.com";

if ($_POST["carriers"] == "bst") $to = $_POST["num"]."@myboostmobile.com";

if ($_POST["carriers"] == "vdf") $to = $_POST["num"]."@sms.vodafone.it";

$subject = "";
$from = "sms-noreply@darkjournal.co.cc";
$message = $_POST["mess"];
$headers = 'From: sms-noreply@darkjournal.co.cc' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); 
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'sms-noreply@darkjournal.co.cc');
mail($to,$subject,$message);

?>
<h1>SMS Sent!</h1><br>
<a href="http://darkjournal.co.cc/start-sms.php">Go Back to Home</a>
</center>
</body>
</html>

Code: 
mail($to,$subject,$message);

You set the headers, but you never actually told mail to use them.

Try:

Code: 
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
