If you didn't un-emerge the ssmtp first, then you will have two mail systems competing for the necessary port(s).
I personally would use Postfix or qmail instead of sendmail - the configuration is easier to do and understand, and both are drop in replacements for sendmail. Have you checked your logs? You will likely see errors in either the Apache / PHP logs, or in your mail logs (most likely). These errors should point you in the right diretion for resolving the problem.

I don't think its my code causing the issue. I tried running it and it quickly returned a failure. Then I RTFM and realised I needed sendmail installed. Thats where my fun began. Sendmail was blocked (we're talking emerge here) by the virtual MTA package. So I killed that from the sendmail ebuild rather than unmerging ssmtp. Got sendmail installed, and put the path in php.ini (with the reccomended switches), then restarted apache2. Now instead of returning an immediate failure it sits there for like 20 seconds then fails but the mail() function never says why, just 1 or 0. Anyone with insight? Im a sendmail n00b in every sense of the term.
