<?php

//if "email" is filled out, send email

  //send email
  $name = $_REQUEST['your-name'] ;
   $email = $_REQUEST['your-email'] ;
   $company= $_REQUEST['company'] ;
    $website= $_REQUEST['website'] ;
  $message=$name."<br>".$company."<br>".$website."<br>".$email;
  $subject = 'Hai there' ;
  $message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
  mail("sample@gmail.com", $subject,
  $message, "From:" . $email);
  if(mail()){

  }
  else{
   echo 'not successfull';

Replace

if(mail()){

with

if(mail("sample@gmail.com", $subject,  $message, "From:" . $email)){

@Ansar, The you are doing your `mail()` wrong. See the basic example here on PHP Manual. http://in2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php#refsect1-function.mail-examples – Shankar Narayana Damodaran Jan 17 '14 at 11:33
I have checked it but it couldn't send emails – Ansar Jan 17 '14 at 11:51
Try adding `error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);` on top of your PHP script and see what is the issue. – Shankar Narayana Damodaran Jan 17 '14 at 12:07

You will probably have to check your php.ini config, have a look to this comment:
