Mail Function is giving false return in PHP

Question

I have tried sending email from a basic html form by php mail() function and It has given me false return

Code:
<?php 
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
        $title = $_POST['title'];
        $name = $_POST['first_name'];
        $name1 = $_POST['last_name']; 
        $phone = $_POST['phone'];
        $email = $_POST['email'];
        $company=$_POST['lead_object'];
        $skype= $_POST['skype_id'];
        $to = 'himanshu@webkidukan.com';
        $subject = 'Advertiser Form Details';
        $from = 'ssing648@gmail.com';

        // To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
        $headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
        $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

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

        // Compose a simple HTML email message
        $message = '<html><body>';
        $message .= '<h1 style="color:#f40;">Hi Sir</h1>';
        $message .= '<p style="color:#080;font-size:18px;">Details of Advertiser Form</p>';
        $message .= '<p style="color:#080;font-size:18px;"><?php $title . " " . $name . " " . "?>wrote the following:"<?php . "\n\n" . $name . "\n\n" . $name1 . "\n\n" .$email . "\n\n" .$phone . "\n\n" .$company. "\n\n" .$skype. "\n\n"?> </p>';
        $message .= '</body></html>';
        $t = mail($to, $from, $message, $headers,$subject);
        var_dump($t);exit;
        if ($t) {
            echo "Mail Sent. Thank you " . $name . " .We will contact you shortly.";

        }else{
           echo "Failed to send email. Please try again later";
        }

    echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('Thanks for filling out our form! We will look over your message and get back to you soon.')</script>";    

    echo "<script> window.location.href = 'advertiser.php';</script>";  
}

 ?>

I have this issue in three forms together , hence posting one for the understanding the mistake, that I am doing. Can anyone of you help me with the same.Or should I go for the SMTP mail option.Also I am sending the form details in mail to the user.So also check that the way to send the flyer is right or not.

if you are trying to do it on localhost then you have to do additional settings... — Alive to die - Anant, Nov 28 '19 at 05:45

There are some unwanted PHP tags while appending message. try like this

$message = '<html><body>';
$message .= '<h1 style="color:#f40;">Hi Sir</h1>';
$message .= '<p style="color:#080;font-size:18px;">Details of Advertiser Form</p>';
$message .= '<p style="color:#080;font-size:18px;">'.$title." ".$name." wrote the following:"."\n\n".$name."\n\n".$name1."\n\n".$email."\n\n".$phone."\n\n".$company."\n\n".$skype."\n\n".'</p>';
$message .= '</body></html>';
