PHP mail is not sending email to my email address - php

Question

I've been looking around everywhere and cannot seem to find how to make this work - it is simply not sending an email to my address. Here is my HTML form:
<form id="contactMe" name="contact" method="post" novalidate="novalidate">
<fieldset>
<label for="name" id="name">Name<span class="required">*</span></label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="30" value="" required="">
<label for="email" id="email">Email<span class="required">*</span></label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="30" value="" required="">
<label for="phone" id="phone">Phone</label>
<input type="text" name="phone" id="phone" size="30" value="">
<label for="Message" id="message">Message<span class="required">*</span></label>
<textarea name="message" id="message" required=""></textarea>
<label for="Answer" id="answer">Name the house pet that says “<i>woof</i>“<span class="required">*</span></label>
<input type="text" name="answer" value="" required=""></br>
<input id="submit" type="submit" name="submit" value="Send">
</fieldset>
<div id="success">
<span class="green textcenter">
<p>Your message was sent successfully! I will be in touch as soon as I can.</p>
</span>
</div> <!-- closes success div -->
<div id="error">
<span><p>Something went wrong, try refreshing and submitting the form again.</p></span>
</div> <!--close error div-->
</form>
and here is my PHP saved as mailer.php:
<?php
$to = "someone#gmail.com";
$from = $_REQUEST['email'];
$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$headers = "From: $from";
$subject = "You have a message from your.";
$fields = array();
$fields{"name"} = "name";
$fields{"email"} = "email";
$fields{"phone"} = "phone";
$fields{"message"} = "message";
$body = "Here is what was sent:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b){ $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); }
mail("maytee.kneitz#gmail.com",$subject,$message,"From: $from\n");
echo 'Mail sent';
?>
This is my first shot at working on a mailer / contact form, so sorry if it's a blatant problem. I just can't seem to find it. Any guidance would be appreciated.
I do have validation in my scripts (not posted here).

Answer 1

You don't have a form action defined. Try this:
<form id="contactMe" name="contact" method="post" action="mailer.php" novalidate="novalidate">
By default, the form will be submitted to its current location unless otherwise specified. In your case, point it to wherever your mail script is located
