What is wrong with this mail() function?

I have tried EVERYTHING. The latest version of the script I am using is below. I don't know what is wrong with it. It would send an e-mail to e.g. [email protected] , but it wouldn't send anything to [email protected] or [email protected] . I've contacted my web host about it and I was told I have to use headers and priority. I've changed the script now, so it uses headers and priority, but it keeps doing the same thing. Please, somebody send me a script that works or correct this one:

<?php
$youremail = trim ($_POST['youremail']);
$your = htmlspecialchars ($youremail);
$mail = strip_tags ($your);
$ab = stripslashes ($mail);

$To = \"$ab\";
$Subject = \"Welcome\";
$body = \"Test mail\";
$message = wordwrap($body, 70);
$headers = \"From: [email protected]\n\";
$headers .= \"X-Priority: 3\n\";
$headers .= \"Cc: \n\";
$headers .= \"Bcc: \n\";
$headers .= \"Reply-To: \n\";
mail($To, $Subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Dont know, try to concatenate using

<?php
$headers = $headers. \" X-Priority: 3\n \";
?>

Maybe your platform is being funny?

You need to make sure the host is an smtp server. Also I noticed this with some of mine but check your spam folder and/or junk mail on those accounts mine was getting filetered out as junk.

A patch is a piece of software which replaces old bugs with new bugs.

It really doesn't look like this is a problem with that script, but something with the way your hosting is setup. Do you have any other PHP apps that use mail on the server? Are they working?
