How can I make a form in php to send out into an email? (I need, name, email, phone number, comment, and upload file)

I am working on a project and have not figured out why I cannot receive email from my forms. I have tried many different way to make this happen. I also have tried 3rd party options. I have tried simple forms to complex forms, but none seem to work. PLEASE help. This is my fist forum post so I you have any questions feel free to ask. Thank you for your help.

If you are doing it locally its never worked for me till I upload it to a server or you can use this to test it.

A great framework you can use for email is:

Okay cool. I only have been testing it on workspaces. It never seemed to work which I associated it to be because of the code. I thought this could be the problem. I have a website that I will be uploading it to today. Thanks for the advice.
