Submit Gmail from php form

Question

I have a project to set up an anonymous feedback form on our website. I would like to go for it with php

The general idea is that I will have a password field (give our staff) a feedback field and a button

I saw this piece of code

<?php
$to = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
  echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
 } else {
  echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
 }
?>

But I’m sure that my systems with limited understanding of email cannot simply send email (unless I have an open server somewhere that I don’t have), so I will need to log in and send an email server (in in my case gmails server)

so how can i do this?

update:

the above code works, but it doesn’t come from the corporate account, we are currently using Google biz applications, and therefore I would like to log in to the Google server to send this.
