mysql - PHP and SMTP not working together

Im
following a tutorial on how to register a user through an email authorization. Im having
some trouble on SMTP. Im not sure why, but the script will not send the email. I dont
know if its an issue with the SMTP or what. The tutorial is from 2009 so it may not be
exactly compatible with the newest build of php. Does anyone see anything that is
causing the issue?

             echo "
Register
";

 $submit
            = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'submit');

 //form data

            $fullname = strip_tags (filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'fullname'));
 $username =
            strtolower(strip_tags (filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'username')));
 $password =
            strip_tags(filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'password'));
 $repeatpassword =
            strip_tags(filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'repeatpassword'));
 $date =
            date("Y-m-d");
 $email = strtolower(strip_tags (filter_input(INPUT_POST,
            'email')));

 if ($submit)
 {

 //open
            database

            $connect=mysql_connect("localhost","root","myrealpasswordwouldgohere");

            mysql_select_db("phplogin");

 $namecheck = mysql_query("SELECT
            username FROM users WHERE username='$username'" );
 $count =
            mysql_num_rows($namecheck);

 if($count!=0)
 {

            die("Username already taken, please choose another");


            }

 //check for
            existence
if($fullname&&$username&&$password&&$repeatpassword)
{

            if ($password==$repeatpassword)
 {
 //check char length of username
            and fullname
 if (strlen($username)>25||strlen($fullname)>25)

            {

 echo "Length of username or full name is too long!";

            }
 else
 {
 //check password length 
 if (strlen
            ($password)>25 || strlen ($password)<6)
 {
 echo "Password
            must be between 6 and 25 characters";
 }
 else


            {
 $password = md5($password);
 //register user
            

 //generate random number
 $random =
            rand(23456789,98765432);


 $queryreg =
            mysql_query("INSERT INTO users VALUES
            ('','$fullname','$username','$password','$email','$date','$random','0')");

            die ("You have been registered! Check your email to activate your account to activate
            your account.");


 $lastid =
            mysql_insert_id();

 //send activation email
 $to =
            $email;
 $subject = "Activate your Account";
 $headers = "From:
            ryansinclair14@gmail.com";
 $server = "smtp.gmail.com";


            ini_set("SMTP","smtp.gmail.com");


 $body = "

            below:

            }







            }

            match";

            all fields!";
