Some mailservers ( IE MailEnable ) aint handling the FROM correctly a fix would be this

$header="FROM: your name <your email>";

To

$header="FROM: your email";

whats the error you are getting and i think you try to send a email , if a mail server is not configured in local host you cant send emails

you can use a SMTP class to send mails using your SMTP mails like gmail
