I'm seriously struggling with this one. It might be an easy fix for those of you who know programming, I don't.

My problem is that it won't send an e-mail to my actual inbox. Am I missing something? What is it I don't understand.

PS! If needed the current site build is available at http://beta2.folldalreklame.no

Please help.

    $body .= "";
    $body .= "Message: ";
    $body .= $message;
    $body .= "\n\n";

$headers = 'From: ' .$email . "\r\n";

    echo '<div class="status-icon valid"><i class="fa fa-check"></i></div>';

you need to set up a SMTP mail server with your web host provider once you have that set up it would be easier to use a library like PHPMailer PHPMailer

once you have dowloaded the library use the configuration script to set your SMTP details provided by your web host Example:

<?php
//Import PHPMailer classes into the global namespace
//These must be at the top of your script, not inside a function
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\SMTP;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;

//Load Composer's autoloader
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

//Create an instance; passing `true` enables exceptions
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);

try {
  //Server settings
$mail->SMTPDebug = SMTP::DEBUG_SERVER;                      //Enable verbose debug output
$mail->isSMTP();                                            //Send using SMTP
$mail->Host       = 'smtp.example.com';                     //Set the SMTP server to send through
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                                   //Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Username   = 'user@example.com';                     //SMTP username
$mail->Password   = 'secret';                               //SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_SMTPS;            //Enable implicit TLS encryption
$mail->Port       = 465;                                    //TCP port to connect to; use 587 if you have set `SMTPSecure = PHPMailer::ENCRYPTION_STARTTLS`

//Recipients
$mail->setFrom('from@example.com', 'Mailer');
$mail->addAddress('joe@example.net', 'Joe User');     //Add a recipient
$mail->addAddress('ellen@example.com');               //Name is optional
$mail->addReplyTo('info@example.com', 'Information');
$mail->addCC('cc@example.com');
$mail->addBCC('bcc@example.com');

//Attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/var/tmp/file.tar.gz');         //Add attachments
$mail->addAttachment('/tmp/image.jpg', 'new.jpg');    //Optional name

//Content
$mail->isHTML(true);                                  //Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body    = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

$mail->send();
echo 'Message has been sent';
} catch (Exception $e) {
 echo "Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}

You could also write your own if you so require but I found it easier using the library and adjusting it to my specific needs

What I did is wrapped this script into my own function that takes 3 parameters .

MySendMailfunction(ToEmail , Subject , Content);

everything else is wrapped in that function and does not need to be set as the other details in my class dont need to change

here is also a tutorial on how to set it up PHPMailer Youtube

Trust this helps
