hello,

in mail function the name of variables are not correct you have missed underscore in to and subject variables, so correct with the below one :
mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

hello,

There is no error !!!

i have tested your script on my system as well and no error in that line, the syntax of if statement is not correct may be because of that, this is not executing, you have missed the else statement after two else if's.
