Sending email from forms via PHP not working. Code mistake or hosting side settings missing? [duplicate]

I am trying to send an email after a form submission. The problem is that whenever I hit submit, the browser does take me to the form.php page but it says that "the website is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500". Here is my HTML and PHP. One thing to mention is that the HTML is on the contact.php file and the PHP is on the form.php file. Is there anything wrong with the code or implementation? Should I add any PHP code to the contact.php file? Should I do something extra on the hosting side?

HTML

<form action="form.php" method="POST"> 
        <label for="first_name">First name</label>
        <input type="text" name="first_name" required>

        <label for="last_name">Last Name</label>
        <input type="text" name="last_name" required>

        <label for="email">Email</label>
        <input type="email" name="email" required>

        <label for="phone">Phone</label>
        <input type="tel" name="phone" maxlength="10">

        <label for="comments">Comments</label>
        <input type="text" id="comments" name="comments">

        <input type="submit" id="submit">
    </form>

<?php
$firstName = $_POST["first_name"];
$lastName = $_POST["last_name"];
$email = $_POST["email]";
$phone = $_POST["phone"];
$comments = $_POST["comments"];

$email_from = "contact@mywebsite.com";

$to = "contact@mywebsite.com";

$email_subject = "New From Submission";

$message = "";
$message .= "First name: " .$firstName. "<br>";
$message .= "Last name: " .$lastName. "<br>";
$message .= "Email: " .$email. "<br>";
$message .= "Phone: " .$phone. "<br>";
$message .= "Comments: " .$comments. "<br>";
$headers = "From: $email_from \r\n\";

mail($to, $email_subject , $message, $headers);?>

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
