i cannot sending email by using this code

Question

I tried below code but it was not working correctly. please help me

<?php
$email = $_POST['email'];
$feedback = $_POST['feedback'];

$to = "balvant1@gmail.com";
$subject = "Mail from HRMSsystem for New Requirement";
$message .= "<b>Email : $email </b>"; 
$message .= "<b>feedback : $feedback </b>"; 
$header = "From:xyz@info.com \r\n";
$header = "Cc:balvant@gmail.com \r\n";
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$retval = mail($to,$subject,$message,$hearder);
if( $retval == true )
{echo "Message sent successfully...";}
else{ echo "Message could not be sent..."; }

?>

Thanks in advance.

Should probably be `$header .= "Cc:balvant@gmail.com \r\n"` for a start — Ankh, Sep 02 '15 at 07:58
...and $retval = mail($to,$subject,$message,$header); not 'hearder' — Louis Loudog Trottier, Sep 02 '15 at 08:01
... and does the address `"From:xyz@info.com \r\n";` actually exist in your outgoing mail system? — RiggsFolly, Sep 02 '15 at 08:02
you often have to do specific things depending on the hosting companies setup to get mail to send. Where are you sending this mail from? — RiggsFolly, Sep 02 '15 at 08:06

Three things...

Most hosting companies don't allow you to "bounce" mail off of their servers so unless you own the domain info.com AND you are hosting it on their server, chances are your mail is being blocked.
As @Louis Loudog Trottier said, $retval = mail($to,$subject,$message,$hearder); should be $header not $hearder
You don't necessarily have to have "xyz@info.com" set up. I often use noreply@my-domain-name.tld (which is a non-existent email address) to send mail, BUT you do have to comply with #1.

Also, see the comment by @Svengali as well

Although not a direct answer to your question, using mail() to send your emails is seldom a good idea. Using an email class library is simpler and more straight forward in my opinion.

Please have a look at swiftmailer.org for example.
