Help with SMTP class function with authentication

Question

My server is no longer supporting the php mail() functionality.  I need to use SMTP class function with authentication in my php code and they suggested this to replace it: http://www.yrhostsupport.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/101/2/smtp-class-functi on-with-authentication-in-php-code
So I tried it, but can't get it to work. This is my test form:
<form method="post" action="forms/sendmail-test2.php" onsubmit="return checkEmail(this);">
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
</script>
<fieldset><legend>Info</legend>
<label> Name </label>
  <input type="text"
  name="name" size="30" maxlength="40"/><br />
<label> <span class="redText">*</span> Email </label>
    <input name="email" type="text" size="30" maxlength="40"/>
    <br />
<label><span class="redText">*</span> Message </label>
  <textarea cols="40" rows="5" name="message" type="text" /></textarea><br />
    </fieldset>
<input type="reset" value="Reset" />
<input type=submit value="Submit Form" />
</fieldset>
</form>
This is sendmail-test2.php where the form goes. It won't send unless I comment out the first 10 lines.
<?php
include('Mail.php');
//$to = "[email protected]";
//$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
//$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
//$message = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
//$headers = "From: $email";
//$subject = " price quote";
//$fields = array();
//$fields{"name"} = "Name"; 
//$fields{"email"} = "Email";
//$fields{"message"} = "Message";
$recipients = '[email protected]'; //CHANGE
$headers['From']    = '[email protected]'; //CHANGE
$headers['To']      = '[email protected]'; //CHANGE
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';
$body = 'Test message';
// Define SMTP Parameters
$params['host'] = 'levy.dnsbox25.com';
$params['port'] = '25';
$params['auth'] = 'PLAIN';
$params['username'] = '[email protected]'; //CHANGE
$params['password'] = 'xxxxxx'; //CHANGE
/* The following option enables SMTP debugging and will print the SMTP
conversation to the page, it will only help with authentication issues. */
$params['debug'] = 'true';
// Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method
$mail_object =& Mail::factory('smtp', $params);
// Print the parameters you are using to the page
foreach ($params as $p){
      echo "$p<br />";
// Send the message
$mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);
?>
It used to work fine when I used
$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
$send2 = mail($from, $subject2, $autoreply, $headers2);
But they said I can't use it any more. I'm good with HTML and CSS but I don't know much about php. Thanks for any help integrating a from into this new code!

Thanks, bregent. I changed it to this and it sends, but nothing shows up in the body except "Test message". How would I "insert the form fields' 'email' and 'name' and 'message' in the body"?
<?php
include('Mail.php');
$to = "[email protected]";
$name = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['name'] ;
//$headers = "From: $email";
$subject = " price quote";
$fields = array();
$fields{"name"} = "Name"; 
$fields{"email"} = "Email";
$fields{"message"} = "Message";
$recipients = '[email protected]'; //CHANGE
$headers['From']    = '[email protected]'; //CHANGE
$headers['To']      = '[email protected]'; //CHANGE
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';
$body = 'Test message';
$fields = array();
$fields{"name"} = "Name"; 
$fields{"email"} = "Email";
$fields{"message"} = "Message";
// Define SMTP Parameters
$params['host'] = 'levy.dnsbox25.com';
$params['port'] = '25';
$params['auth'] = 'PLAIN';
$params['username'] = '[email protected]'; //CHANGE
$params['password'] = xxx'; //CHANGE
/* The following option enables SMTP debugging and will print the SMTP
conversation to the page, it will only help with authentication issues. */
$params['debug'] = 'true';
// Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method
$mail_object =& Mail::factory('smtp', $params);
// Print the parameters you are using to the page
foreach ($params as $p){
      echo "$p<br />";
// Send the message
$mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);
?>
