PHP mail function is not working on my server?

My mail function is on online server. It was working fine. But not now. I am confused why it has stopped sending mail. It shows the message that email sent, but no email is received in inbox.

Here is my php code:

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $phone = $_POST['phone'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];

    $headers = "From: " . $email . "\n"; //from address
    $to = ""; //my mail id
    $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 \n";
    $subject = "Test mail";

    $body = '<html>
        <head>
            <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
            <title>"."<h3>"."Hello Test,."</h3>".
    </title>
        </head>
        <body><p></p>
            <p style="color: #00CC66; font-weight:600; font-style:italic; font-size:14px; float:left; margin-left:7px;">You have received an inquiry from your website.  Please review the contact information below.

    :</p>';
    if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
        ?>
        <h3 style="color:#d96922; font-weight:bold; height:0px; margin-top:1px;">Thank You For Contacting us!!</h3>

        <?php
    } else {

        print_r(error_get_last());
    }
}

What's wrong with it? Please help me to find out the solution. And also help me to echo error?

Working with godadday server it works as expected, but on bigrock server it will not work till we did not create a respond mail ( registered mail from cpanel). Login to your cpanel provided by big rock, scroll down to register a mail id. create that mail id e.g [email protected].

Once you will create that mail id wait for 10-30 minutes after that mail function will start working.

Had a similar challenge, on my end however the error was not on the code, i had missed creating the actual sent from email on cpanel. Its an easy thing to miss but can frustrate you

I'd give this a try, ending each line with \r\n and also adding a To header (redundant as it might seem). Also, declaring charset=utf-8 in the header should be enough. If not though, make sure it matches (right now there's a mismatch).

<?php
  $subject = "Test mail";
  $to_email = "[email protected]";
  $to_fullname = "John Doe";
  $from_email = "[email protected]";
  $from_fullname = "Jane Doe";
  $headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
  $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n";
  // Additional headers
  // This might look redundant but some services REALLY favor it being there.
  $headers .= "To: $to_fullname <$to_email>\r\n";
  $headers .= "From: $from_fullname <$from_email>\r\n";
  $message = "<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\">\r\n
  <head>\r\n
    <title>Hello Test</title>\r\n
  </head>\r\n
  <body>\r\n
    <p></p>\r\n
    <p style=\"color: #00CC66; font-weight:600; font-style: italic; font-size:14px; float:left; margin-left:7px;\">You have received an inquiry from your website.  Please review the contact information below.</p>\r\n
  </body>\r\n
  </html>";
  if (!mail($to_email, $subject, $message, $headers)) { 
    print_r(error_get_last());
  }
  else { ?>
    <h3 style="color:#d96922; font-weight:bold; height:0px; margin-top:1px;">Thank You For Contacting us!!</h3>
  <?php
  }
  ?>

I'd also replace the first line with something like this, to avoid notices / errors:

if ($_POST && isset($_POST['submit']) && isset($_POST['name']) && isset($_POST['email']) && !empty($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['email'])) {
