I tried your script it would work fine but the body content of the email does not pass over.

The email sends the subject sends but the $content, $headers does not send.

I got this variables with this code
<?php ob_start();?>

<?php $content=ob_get_flush();
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
?>
