Please help me to set up php emails to be sent to different person

if that is your entire config.inc.php file then there is a problem.
You have started / continued the session, but you have not declared the $_SESSION['id'] variable which is why you are continuing to obtain the cannot connect error.

It also doesn't look like anywhere in your config file or the original file that you are even trying to connect to the database to begin with, so even if the variable was present you would have received an error about connecting to the database.

in some file you need the code below.

$c = mysqli_connect(C_MYSQL_HOST, C_MYSQL_USER, C_MYSQL_PWD);
$conn = mysqli_select_db($c, C_MYSQL_DB);

then before you run your query you can do

if($conn)
{
       _QUERY_
}

?>

now i have changed the sendmail.php configuration as like this

<?
    require_once "http://www.mysite/staff/config.inc.php";
    require_once "http://www.amysite/staff/common.inc.php";
    
    if (isset($_SESSION['id']))
    {
        $sql = "select * from applications where id='$_SESSION[id]'";
        $rs = mysql_query($sql) or SQLError("Getting all the details...");
        $row = mysql_fetch_array($rs);
        unset($_SESSION['id']);
    }
    else
    {
        echo("<p>Still no solution...<p>");
    }

?>

<?php
$to = "me@gmail.com";
$subject = "Your application updates from college !";
$body = $row['noteforstudents'];
$headers = "From: info@something.com\r\n" .
    "X-Mailer: xxxx MBB";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
  echo("<p>Message sent!</p>");
 } else {
  echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
 }
?>

Doing that I get this error on php page.

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Unknown MySQL server host 'C_MYSQL_HOST' (1) in /home/folder/YGYLGGI/htdocs/staff/common.inc.php on line 7
