PHP script for email

PHP script for email
Hello,

I just set up a website and I wanted to be able to use a contact form and have that information sent to me via email. I have a php script. When I try to submit the information in the contact form, I get an error 500 saying my site was not set up to do that. Is there some configuration I need to do? Sorry I'm new to this.
Thank you

My method for getting emails from the contact page might not be the best. If anyone could suggest a tool I could use that would be more secure and reliable, I would be grateful. Thank you!

without seeing the script it's just a guessing game.

Thanks for directing my attention to the code. I tried a different PHP script, and the email was successful. I appreciate your help
