My PHP script for sending emails wont send

Question

Well I'm working on a school project, and I uploaded my script to send emails. I'm pretty much using whats defined here: http://www.webcheatsheet.com/PHP/send_email_text_html_attachment.php .

Now, all I really changed(other than the contents), is the receiver, to my email address. However, I'm not getting it in my inbox. Is there something else I need? Do I need to do something with the settings on the server(or have my school enable something)?

If you're getting a 'Mail Sent' message, then the message has been sent. Receiving it, however is a different matter. Check to make sure that it hasn't been caught by the spam filters.

If you're getting a 'Mail Failed' message, then you'll want to check whether there's a mail server enabled on your server, as well as what the error message is. You can check the error message by removing the @ symbol in front of the mail function.
