Set headers, 4th parameter of mail() function

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: TO_NAME <TO_MAIL>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: FROM_NAME <FROM_MAIL>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: CC_MAIL' . "\r\n"; 
$headers .= 'Bcc: BCC_MAIL' . "\r\n";

Good developers turn on php error checking when doing their development. Try it.

BTW - you actually didn't say what was NOT working. I can only assume that your email is not being sent. The headers suggestion could solve that, but if you had read the PHP manual that would have been apparent.
