I suggest you var_dump() the return value rather than using echo.

I suggest you examine the actual value of $headers.

Anyway, if there aren't any obvious errors in your code, you host may
have some requirements about the emails it'll accept, such us using a
specific e-mail address as sender. Start debugging with the simplest
test script you can write. You'll have time later to add complex headers
and attachments.
