How can one troubleshoot issues with receiving emails from a PHP contact form script?

Issue: If emails are not being received from a PHP contact form script, it could be due to misconfigured email settings on the server or the email being marked as spam. To troubleshoot, check the email configuration in the PHP script, ensure the email server is properly set up, and check spam folders for the missing emails. 

// Example PHP code snippet to troubleshoot email sending issues

// Set the recipient email address
$to = "recipient@example.com";

// Set the subject
$subject = "Test email";

// Set the message
$message = "This is a test email from the PHP contact form script.";

// Set additional headers
$headers = "From: sender@example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: sender@example.com\r\n";

// Send the email
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
    echo "Email sent successfully.";
} else {
    echo "Email sending failed. Check your email settings.";
}
