PHP Email Form Not Working - php

Question

I'm having trouble to set this email form working properly
I have this contact.html:
<form mehtod="post" action="contact.php">
<hr />
<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<label>Name
<input type="text" name="cf_name" placeholder="Name" />
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<label>Email
<input type="text" name="cf_email" placeholder="Email" />
</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="large-12 columns">
<label>Your message
<textarea name="cf_message" placeholder="Your message"></textarea>
</label>
</div>
</div>
<input class="button" type="reset" value="Clear">
<input class="button success expand" type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
And this contact.php:
<?php
$field_name = $_POST['cf_name'];
$field_email = $_POST['cf_email'];
$field_message = $_POST['cf_message'];
$mail_to = 'my#email.com';
$subject = 'Personal Website Message from '.$field_name;
$body_message = 'From: '.$field_name."\n";
$body_message .= 'E-mail: '.$field_email."\n";
$body_message .= 'Message: '.$field_message;
$headers = 'From: '.$field_email."\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$field_email."\r\n";
$mail_status = mail($mail_to, $subject, $body_message, $headers);
if ($mail_status) { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Thank you for the message. I will contact you shortly.');
window.location = 'contact.html';
</script>
<?php
}
else { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
alert('Message failed. There is a problem with your message, if keep aving trouble click on the Email me button above.');
window.location = 'contact.html';
</script>
<?php
}
?>
But when I upload this, and test it, nothing is sent to my email, why ? For me everything seems to be right ...

Answer 1

Your mail client may not be allowing sending emails without authorization. Unfortunately PHP's mail function does not support username + password authorization, so you have to look for third party extensions.

Answer 2

Please check the spelling of your 'method' attribute in the form element.
The PHP code you supplied specifies $_POST as the variable that contains data relevant to the form.
Your misspelling causes the server use the default 'get' method to post the data (for reference, see here)
Correcting the opening tag to the following should fix the issue:
<form method="post" action="contact.php">
