Hi,
I want users to send me mails using the contact page on my site and this is my send_email.php code

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$email_to = 'www.*******@gmail.com';
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$headers = "From: $email\r\n";

if(mail($email_to,$subject, $message, $headers)){
echo 'sent ';
}else{
echo 'failed';
}
?>
</body>
</html>

Even though i get a message saying "sent" i am unable to see the mail either in my inbox nor in my spam folder please guide me through as m a total noob

If your script is running on Free Hosting here, the only addresses you are allowed to send from are valid email accounts associated with your hosting account. You can set the reply-to to something else, but from needs to be your own account, or it will be silently discarded as outgoing spam.

Please use
PHP: 
, [html] or [code] tags (as appropriate) to separate and format code. As [pre] isn't supported in the X10 forums, you can use [code] for non-code text to preserve formatting .
