If you send mail from PHP to the email address in the From: header,
is it *ACTUALLY DELIVERED*? Yes, the left hand side really counts.
If the domain in the From: line publishes an SPF record, is the
web site you're running PHP on listed in it?
Does the web site you're running PHP on have valid reverse DNS?
Some mail servers won't accept mail from servers with no reverse DNS.
Can you send email to a server you rent space on, have it fail,
and get the ISP to tell you WHY it failed? Or look at the server
logs yourself?

Don't put it in production like that. Spammers will abuse it.
But it shouldn't matter for your mail delivery problem.
