What does JavaScript, HTML, CSS have to do with a serverside error? — epascarello, Oct 29 '14 at 12:27
You can`t send mail from localhost,at least not directly. http://stackoverflow.com/a/16837929/1745672 — Mihai, Oct 29 '14 at 12:31
Chances are your localhost doesnt have a mail server set up, which is needed to send email locally — Typhomism, Oct 29 '14 at 12:39

You have to configure your php.ini with SMTP data of your e-mail.

See this tutorial at: http://planetghost.com/send-emails-localhost-xampp-wamp-php

Don't forget to restart the server after changes.
