I have an htm registration form which displays correctly. It submits to a php form to email the details to the person in charge of the event as well as the sender. However, it does not send an email at all. Any assistance with this is greatly appreciated.

After checking my error log, I made many changes and tested after each change. I now have no errors, but it still does not send emails. What am I doing wrong?

Here's the new php code: 


<?php

$message = ""; 
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$to = "example@example.net"; // Your email address
$name1 = $_POST['name1'];
$emai11 = $_POST['email1'];
$phone1 = $_POST['phone1'];
 $name2 = $_POST['name2'];
$entree2 = $_POST['entree2'];
$phone2 = $_POST['phone2'];
$email2 = $_POST['email2'];
$message = "<!DOCTYPE html>

Asking the obvious, is the mail server showing any errors in that log? Does it send email otherwise than from this particular script?

Thank you all for the suggestions. I had been working on this in the meantime to meet my deadline and, after much trial and error, it now works perfectly. Here is the code I am using. 

<?php


$to = "example@example.com";

/* This section is where the script reads your form fields. */
$name1= $_REQUEST['name1'];
$email1= $_REQUEST['email1'];
$phone1= $_REQUEST['phone1'];
$entree1= $_REQUEST['entree1'];
$name2= $_REQUEST['name2'];
$email2= $_REQUEST['email2'];
$phone2= $_REQUEST['phone2'];
$entree2= $_REQUEST['entree2'];


$subject = "Event Registration";

$header = "From: \"$name1\" <$email1>\r\n"; 
$header .= "Cc: $email1 \r\n";
$header .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";

$body = "<html>
<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width\" />
<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=UTF-8\" />

</head>

<body>

<table id='event' cellspacing='0'>

<tr>
<td align='center'>
<td align='center'><Event Title</td>
</tr>

<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>

<tr>
<td align='center'>
<p>Date of event</p>
<p>Place of event</p>
<p>address</p>
<p>city, state, zip</p>
</td>
</tr>

<td align='center'>
Event details
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td align='center'>
<p>registration deadline</p>
<p>Prices</p>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan='2'>
<p>$name1</p>
Entree Selection $entree1</p>
<p>$phone1</p>
<p>$email1</p>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan='2'>
<p>$name2</p>
Entree Selection $entree2</p>
<p>$phone2</p>
<p>$email2</p>
</td>
</tr>


</table>


</html>";

(mail($to, $subject, $body, $header)) ;
echo "Looking forward to seeing you, " . $name1 . "! An email has been sent to event coordinator and a copy to you. Be sure to check your spam/junk folders.";

?>
