Looks your SMTP server needs authentication and the PHP mail function does not support username & pw authenticaion.

I have checked your script and working fine, few points for you to check

1.Have you save this script file as "webpage.php" ?

2.Have you repalced "someone@example.com" with a valid email address ? - receipient email address

3.Have you ameded the php.ini file for the mail server settings SMTP & smtp_port settings ? following is my setting.

CSS

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = 10.10.27.7
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25

4.If you have amended the php.ini, then did you restart your appache to pickup the new settings ?

5. your TO EMAIL ADDRESS in the form is assigned to the FROM EMAIL ADDRESS in the script ? looks not correct

6. you needs to have an echo(); function call for your text -"Thank you for using our mail form";

Hope this helps to trouble shoot
