I host my website on a CentOS-Bash, PHP and MySQL environment; my local email client is engined by [Roundcube][1]. I don't know almost anything about PHP nuances.
While my web domain registration is done by one company, my _DNS records hosting_, _websites hosting_ and _website emails hosting_ are all done by a second company.

~~I can send emails to myself (to my local email client) via running in terminal `php example_1.php`:~~
<?php
$to = "example@example.com";
$subject = "Email Test";
$message = "PHP's mail function test";
mail($to, $subject, $message);

Since I have published English translation (which also didn't work in-testing) this is no longer relevant

PHP emails are sent when $message is a string, but not when its an array

I have a right-to-left (RTL) website in Hebrew. I host my website on a CentOS-Bash, PHP and MySQL environment; my local email client is engined by [Roundcube][1].

While my web domain registration is done by one company, my _DNS records hosting_, _websites hosting_ and _website emails hosting_ are all done by a second company.

I can send emails to myself (to my local email client) via running in terminal `php example_1.php`:

    <?php
        $to = "example@example.com";
        $subject = "Email Test";
        $message = "PHP's mail function test";

        mail($to, $subject, $message);
    ?>

**I can't** send emails to myself (to my local email client) via running in terminal `php example_2.php`:

    <?php
	$to = "example@example.com";
	$subject = "New email message";
	$message = array (
		$name = $_POST["name"] . "Name:" . "\r\n",
		$email = $_POST["email"] . "Email:" . "\r\n",
		$phone = $_POST["phone"] . "Phone:" . "\r\n",
		$topic = $_POST["topic"] . "Topic:" . "\r\n",
		$date = $_POST["date"] . "Date:" . "\r\n",
		$time = $_POST["time"] . "Time:" . "\r\n",
		$notes = $_POST["notes"] . "Notes:" . "\r\n"
	    );

	mail($to, $subject, $message);
    ?>
