Sendmail with Ubuntu and PHP

I'm trying to get Bitnami Magento to send email on an AWS EC2 Ubuntu instance. Before dealing with the Magento configuration I am just trying to get php to send mail.

This works 

echo "My test email being sent from sendmail" | /usr/sbin/sendmail [email protected]

This doesn't

<?php
    $to = '[email protected]';
    $subject = 'the subject';
    $message = 'hello';
    $headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
        'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
        'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

It doesn't work from the browser or if I run it from SSH, like this

$php my_php_email_test.php

It gives this error 

sh: 1: /usr/bin/sendmail: not found

In the first case, you specify the path to sandmail directly:

/usr/sbin/sendmail

When you run PHP code, the path to sandmail comes from php.ini. Try to change sendmail_path in php.ini from /usr/bin/sendmail to /usr/sbin/sendmail.
