Answer 1

Your email content is going to be literally $text with that code.

Try

if (mail('email@gmail.com', 'Email Works', $text)) {
    echo '<p>Mail sent successfully.</p>';
} 
else {
    echo '<p>Mail could not be sent.</p>';
}

Also, Check your email and php settings to ensure you can use the mail function.
