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


      @mail ($to, $subject, $message , $headers)


?>

you're trying to send as HTML, so send it AS HTML which your headers do not contain. see the manual on `mail()`. — Funk Forty Niner, Apr 20 '15 at 12:33
Please mention the content type in your headers. i.e : Content-Type: text/html; — Mehar, Apr 20 '15 at 12:34

You need to add content-type as html in your email header as like this :

$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";

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

you need to add header in code

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";

// More headers
$headers .= 'From: <webmaster@example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: myboss@example.com' . "\r\n";
