I'm not a PHP expert, but it seems that you have the $from and $body1
reversed.

The correct syntax is:

$to = "someone(at)example(dot)com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse(at)example(dot)com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

Also, the server may have some requirements for the sender ($from). This is
an example from my sendmail.ini for my xampp Apache server for Localhost:

# Set default values for all following accounts.
defaults
logfile "C:\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.log"

# Mercury
account Mercury
host localhost
from postmaster@localhost
auth off

# Set a default account
account default : Mercury

You might need to do something else for a remote server. This might help:
