Message is missing senders address

I am making a contact for a website and I am having issues. I am testing with XAMPP currently, using it's sendmail. I keep getting the error:

Message is missing sender's address

Here is the PHP Header Code:

    //email headers
$headers = 'From: \""' .$email . '\r\n'. 'Reply-To' .
    $email. "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
    mail($email_to, $subject, $message, $headers);

I can't figure out the issue. Thanks

You are escaping the double quote in headers, when it does not need to be escaped which will lead to you having two double quotes. Change your code to

$headers = 'From: ' .$email . "\r\n". 
  'Reply-To: ' . $email. "\r\n" . 
  'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($email_to, $subject, $message, $headers);
