Sending email using the mailgun PHP APIs

I am trying to send an email with mailguns php api:

define('MAILGUN_KEY', 'key-ExamPle3xAMPle');
define('MAILGUN_DOMAIN', 'example.com');

$mailgun = new Mailgun\Mailgun(MAILGUN_KEY);

$mailgun->sendMessage(MAILGUN_DOMAIN, [
                'from'      => 'noreply@signstoptt.com',
                'to'        => $email,
                'subject'   => 'Sign Stop mailing list confirmation.',
                'html'      => "
                    Hello{$name},</br></br>
                    This is a test." 
            ]);

I even tried using array () instead of [].

In my php error log, the following error appears:

MissingRequiredParameters

This means that what I pass to the post function is incomplete or incorrect. after checking the post function in RestClient, I see that the function requires 2 arrays, not 1, so I tried to add a second array with message attachments, and it just got more errors, this time with guzzle (dependency for mailgun)

Someone else had this problem. I am launching a site on a Glassfish netbeans server setup. I also used the composer to install mailgun and its dependencies.

EDIT: Added more info.
