Since nobody else has responded (and I'm no expert) -

My guess is that you can't have a function in the parameters. Try

$msg=stripslashes($msg);
mail("abc7@gmail.com ","Contact",$msg, $mailheaders);

Dear Mason,

normally you can have a function in the parameters. I suppose nobody
answered, because they would have to guess, since the original poster
gave no error messages, and did not describe the environment the
script is running in. Most likely there is no mail support installed
e.g. if it is a windows machine.

Cheers
Martin
