Perhaps I can help you with an example I used myself:

The HTML contact Form:

            <div class="row">

                <!-- Content -->
                    <div id="content" class="8u skel-cell-mainContent">
                        <section class="12u">

                            <header>
                                <h2>Contact</h2>
                            </header>

                         <form method="post" action="mail.php">
                        <div class="row half">
                            <div class="6u">
                                <input name="subject" placeholder="Name" type="text" class="text" />
                            </div>
                            <div class="6u">
                                <input name='email' placeholder="Email" type="text" class="text" />
                            </div>
                        </div>
                        <div class="row half">
                            <div class="12u">
                                <textarea name="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                        <div class="row half">
                            <div class="12u">
                                <!--a href="mail.php" class="button">Submit</a-->
                                <input type="submit" class="button" value="Submit">
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </form>

                        </section>

                    </div>

The PHP processing of the form:

<?php 
                //mail(to,subject,message,headers,parameters)


                    // Check if the "from" input field is filled out
                    //if (isset($_POST['from'])) 
                    //{}
                      $to = 'mail@xxxxxx.com'; // my email address
                      $subject = $_POST['subject']; //name client

                      $feedback = 'thank you, we will reply soon.';
                      $header  = $_POST['email']; //Email client

                      $message = $_POST['message'];
                      $message = wordwrap($message, 70);

                      $message = <<<EMAIL
Dear (YOUR WEBSITE NAME HERE),

My name is: $subject

$message

Email Client: $header


EMAIL;





                      // send mail
                      if($_POST){ 
                      mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);

                      echo $feedback;
                                }





?>

Remember very carefully, the part from Dear... to EMAIL has to be against the left side of the screen, without any tabs or spaces. Else it won't work!

Hopefully you can use this to your success :)

Try this

<?php
$nombre      = $_POST['nombre'];
$apellidos   = $_POST['apellidos'];
$telefono    = $_POST['telefono'];
$email       = $_POST['email'];
$mensaje     = $_POST['mensaje'];
$formcontent = "{$nombre} {$apellidos} {$email} {$telefono} {$mensaje}";
$recipient   = "deniz946@gmail.com";
$subject     = "Subject from $nombre";

if(PHP_OS == "Linux" || PHP_OS == "Darwin") $new_line = "\n"; /* if Linux or Mac */
elseif(PHP_OS == "WINNT") $new_line = "\r\n"; /* if Windows */
$mailheader  = "MIME-Version: 1.1" . $new_line;
$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8" . $new_line;
$mailheader .= "From: ".$recipient.$new_line;
$mailheader .= "Return-Path: " . $recipient . $new_line;
$mailheader .= "Reply-To: " . $recipient . $new_line;

mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader, "-r" . $recipient) or die("Error!");
echo "Thank You! We will get back to you as soon as possible!" . " -" . "<a href='./index.php'> Back to site</a>";
?>

<input type="emal" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Introduce tu email" > change to

<input type="email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Introduce tu email" >

you have typo in type attribute.
