  In my PHP file i am writing multiple headers like this
  

  <?php
$to     
= '[email protected]';

$subject = 'the subject';

$message = 'hello';

$headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
  
'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" .
  
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();



mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

?>

It sends mail successfully.
If i check my mail i will get the from,message and body.
where can i find the remaining header information(Reply-To and X-Mailer)in my mail.

  that depends on which email client you are using to read the email.

  The extra email headers like reply-to, etc are usually used by the email client in the background to aid in the processing of the email. In the normal course of events you wouldn't have any need to change these headers around. One of the reasons you might is in the case of an email help desk where help tickets are sent to a single email and replies are made from many emails and then all communications should be handled by the same technician. If you are just wanting to send emails then you may want to use the built-in SMTP functions or the php mail() function.
