PHP form redirecting to thankyou.html, but not sending appropriate emails

Hi, all!

I have tried to get this contact form to work for a few days now and can not seem to find what is wrong with it. I am new at php and have only the experience of what I am reading online. Can anyone help me? I am trying to get a persons contact info and have them select as many checkboxes as they want and to know which checkboxes they chose. The form is redirecting to the thankyou.html page I created, but no email is being sent to me as the form owner, nor to the person entering the data. This is the php code:

<?php
$mailObj = mail($mailTo,$mailSubject,$mailContent,$mailHeader, "-f<info@logodesigngroup.com>");
$to = "info@logodesigngroup.com";
$from = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$name = $_REQUEST['firstname'] ;
$headers = "From: $email";
$subject = "Web Contact Data";

$fields = array();
$fields{"firstname"} = "First Name";
$fields{"lastname"} = "Last Name";
$fields{"email"} = "Email Address";
$fields{"phone"} = "Phone Number";
$fields{"address"} = "Address";
$fields{"address2"} = "Address 2";
$fields{"city"} = "City";
$fields{"state"} = "State";
$fields{"zip"} = "Zip Code";

if(isset($_POST['raisefunds'])) echo 'Help raise funds checked';
if(isset($_POST['hostfundraiser'])) echo 'Host a fund raiser checked';
if(isset($_POST['hoandouts'])) echo 'Help with literature checked';
if(isset($_POST['mailings'])) echo 'Help with mailings checked';
if(isset($_POST['doorknock'])) echo 'Neighborhood walker checked';
if(isset($_POST['yardsign'])) echo 'Display a yardsign checked';
if(isset($_POST['headquarters'])) echo 'Volunteer at headquarters checked';
if(isset($_POST['hostgettoknow'])) echo 'Host a get to know checked';
if(isset($_POST['eventsetup'])) echo 'Help st up and clean up at event checked';
if(isset($_POST['eventparticipant'])) echo 'Participate at an event checked';
if(isset($_POST['internet'])) echo 'Place a banner on my website checked';
if(isset($_POST['contribution'])) echo 'Make a donation checked';
if(isset($_POST['other'])) echo 'Volunteer in some other way checked';

$body = "We have received the following information:\n\n"; foreach($fields as $a => $b){ $body .= sprintf("%20s: %s\n",$b,$_REQUEST[$a]); }

$headers2 = "From: info@logodesigngroup.com";
$subject2 = "Thank you for contacting us";
$autoreply = "Thank you for contacting us. Somebody will get back to you as soon as possible, usualy within 48 hours. If you have any more questions, please consult our website at www.logodesigngroup.com";

if($email == '') {print "You have not entered an email, please go back and try again";}
else {
if($firstname == '') {print "You have not entered a name, please go back and try again";}
else {
$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2);
if($send)
{header( "Location: http://www.logodesigngroup.com/thankyou.html" );}
else
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail, please notify info@logodesigngroup.com"; }
}
}
?>
