Error in creating contact form with php - php

Question

I created a simple contact form as follows.
<form method="post" action="mail_receive.php">
<label>Name *</label>
<input name="name" placeholder="Type Here">
<label>Email *</label>
<input name="email" type="email" placeholder="Type Here">
<label>Phone No *</label>
<input name="phone" placeholder="Type Here">
<input id="submit" name="submit" type="submit" value="">
And php file called mail_receive.php
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$from = 'From: Someone';
$to = 'admin#gmail.com';
$subject = 'Ticket Ordering';
$body = "From: $name\n E-Mail: $email\n Phone:\n $phone";
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if ($name != '' && $email != '' && $phone != '') {
if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from)) {
echo '<p>Your message has been sent!</p>';
} else {
echo '<p>Something went wrong, go back and try again!</p>';
}
} else {
echo '<p>Please fill all required fields !!</p>';
}
}?>
}
And i uploaded to my hosting.
Although I can fill up the form and submit, I can't receive email to my inbox.
Is there any wrong?

Answer 1

With mail, it's meant to be
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Try something like this:
$to = "youremailaddress#whatever.com";
$subject = "Your tickets yo";
$headers = "From: someone#someone.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: someone#someone.com\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME=VERSION:1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\r\n;"
$message = "Nice tickets bro.";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
And please I hope it's just for example purposes, but please don't actually be sending it to admin#gmail.com because obviously (unless you ARE actually admin#gmail.com, you wont recieve the e-mail.
