Your From header is incorrectly formatted. Change

$headers = "From : " . $_POST['email'];

to

$headers = "From: " . $_POST['email'];

But I'd suggest something more extensive like in the answer found here: [PHP Warning: mail(): " sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing

And just in case you're not running Unix and encounter the smtp error after this: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25

  • Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() i'm getting this error now – zeeshan majeed Sep 07 '19 at 12:57
  • That's why I provided the last link, it'll point you towards the solution of that error. – Sceluswe Sep 07 '19 at 13:05
