Error with php form - Mail failure - no recipient addresses

I'm trying to get my online form to email me the results. The email I receive is: Mail failure - no recipient addresses. I have spent a while trying to fix this and have looked for answers but have not found any. Hoping someone can help me fix this. Thanks!

<?php

$emailSubject = 'Test Form';
$mailTo = '[email protected]';

$nameField = $_POST['name'];
$emailField = $_POST['email'];
$questionField = $_POST['ships'];
$enemyField = $_POST['enemy'];
$roundsField = $_POST['rounds'];
$winnerField = $_POST['winner'];
$movementsField = $_POST['movements'];
$notesField = $_POST['notes'];

$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Name: $nameField <br>
Email: $emailField <br>
Friendly Ships Played: $shipsField <br>
Enemy Ships Played: $enemyField <br>
# of Rounds Played: $roundsField <br>
Who Won?: $winnerField <br>
Movements in Question: $movementsField <br>
Notes: $notesField <br>
EOD;

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail($mailto, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

$theResults = <<<EOD
Thank You for your help!
EOD;

echo "$theResults";
?>

Is your php file correctly receiving that data? Trying echoing all your variables and see if your variables even contain any data.

If they don't contain anything the problem is most likely the form. Can we see your form?

You are using:

$mailTo = '[email protected]';

and next:

$success = mail($mailto,

find the diference $mailTo

In PHP, variables are case sensitive, e.g. $mailTo is not equal to $mailto. (However, functions are case insensitive, e.g. MAIL() is equal to mail().)

Thus, the solution is to fix the typo.
