ini_set("SMTP","aspmx.l.google.com");
mail($email, $subject, $messge, "From:".$from);

?>

but its not working...why? and XAMPP is being used.

Define "not working". What do you expect to happen? What actually happens? What happens if you add error checking to make sure that the data in being POSTed? And to check the response from the call to `mail`? — Quentin, Oct 01 '14 at 10:50
error is given below hope you can see it. And yes I am trying to send a mail in localhost as mentioned XAMPP is being used for the purpose. And by not working I mean to say that it don't send the mail to specifies address rather gives an error. Hope its clear now. — Waqas Sajid, Oct 01 '14 at 11:09

Lolx, you can't simply send email form this general method in xampp or local server... Upload your code on live server and than check it....

Local server don't allow to send email.. you either need some other server or make your code live...
