    Help with PHP contact script

    Hello I was installing a php contact script everything seems to be working fine except for the fact it is not sending an email to me. Here is the basic code. I was told I just needed to change the "youremial@emial.com" into my email address and it should work. I must be missing other stuff.

    I would appreciate it if someone could take a quick look and guide me if you have time.

    <?php
    if ($_POST['yourname'] != "" && $_POST['youremail'] && $_POST['yourphone'] && $_POST['yourcountry'] && $_POST['smallsubject'] && $_POST['comment'] ) {
    $subject="Form posted from my site ";
    $ip=$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
    $host = $ip;
    $mon=date(m);
    $day=date(j);
    $year=date(y);
    $hour=date(g);
    $min=date(i);
    $sec=date(s);
    $hour=$hour-2;
    if($hour<=0) { $hour+=12; }
    $ts = "$hour:$min:$sec on $day/$mon/$year";


    $to="youremail@address.com";

    $body="

    Your Name = $yourname

    Your Email = $youremail

    Your Phone = $yourphone

    Your Country = $yourcountry

    Your Site = $yoursite

    Small Subject = $smallsubject

    Comment = $comment


    Host: $host
    Time: $ts";

    $email = "From: Form <$to>";
    mail($to, $subject, $body, $email);
    ?>

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Email Sent</title>
    </head>
    <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#666666">

    <p>&nbsp;</p>

    <p><center><b><font color="#000000">Email was successfully sent to: Admin And He Will Contact With You As Soon As Possible</font></b></center>

    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>

    </body>
    </html>

    <?php
    } else {
    ?>

    If (!$_POST['smallsubject'])
    echo "Small Subject field is empty<br>";

    If (!$_POST['comment'])

    ?>
    <p>

    From is spelled wrong in Email variable.

    If you're using an SMTP server that is not localhost / not on your webhosts's network, and this is shared hosting, it may well be blocked by the firewall rules on your web server.

    Umm, shouldn't all of these have ";" after them (syntax error)?
    $body=";
    Your Name = $yourname;
    Your Email = $youremail;
    Your Phone = $yourphone;
    Your Country = $yourcountry;
    Your Site = $yoursite;
    Small Subject = $smallsubject;
    Comment = $comment;
    Host: $host;

    It seems like your mail server is not working. Have you checked that already?

    Have you turned error reporting on? If so what does it say?

    You will receive the email ONLY when this IF condition is met. Try inserting an
    echo "anything";
    before the mail function. If the text is displayed means something is wrong with the email delivery OTHERWISE it would mean the IF condition is not TRUE.
