I'm working through a jquery validate form tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7lnU8hJRjo

ALthough, I am not receiving emails from this code.

I am also using XAMPP to trouble shoot this. I thought that might be the problem but it also doesn't work on my live website. Here is my code:

<?php

$hasError = false;
$sent = false;

if(isset($_POST['submitform'])) {
    $name = trim(htmlspecialchars($_POST['name'], ENT_QUOTES));
    $email = trim($_POST['email']);
    $message = trim(htmlspecialchars($_POST['message'], ENT_QUOTES));

$fieldsArray = array(
    'name' => $name,
    'email' => $email,
    'message' => $message
);

    $errorArray = array();

    foreach($fieldsArray as $key => $val) {
        switch ($key) {
            case 'name':
            case 'message':
                if(empty($val)) {
                    $hasError = true;
                    $errorArray[$key] = ucfirst($key) . " field was left empty.";
                }
                break;
            case 'email':
                if(!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
                    $hasError = true;
                    $errorArray[$key] = "Invalid Email Address Entered";
                } else {
                    $email = filter_var($email, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
                }
                break;
        }
    }

    if($hasError !== true) {
        $to = "myemail@myemail.com";
        $subject = "Message from Contact Form";
        $msgcontents = "Name: $name<br>Email: $email<br>Message: $message";
        $headers = "MIME-VERSION: 1.0 \r\n";
        $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 \r\n";
        $headers .= "From: $name <$email> \r\n";
        $mailsent = mail($to, $subject, $msgcontents, $headers);
        if($mailsent) {
            $sent = true;
            unset($name);
            unset($email);
            unset($message);
        }
    }
}

?>

update your script to 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

not sure why your arent receiving the emails but here is a template i made for you to try.

      $to = "ur email@example.edu"; // this is your Email address
$from = $_POST['email']; // this is the sender's Email address
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];  
$subject2 = "Copy of your form submission";
$message = $first_name . " " ." wrote the following:" . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
$message2 = "Here is a copy of your message " . $first_name . "\n\n" . $_POST['message'];
$headers = "From:" . $from;
$headers2 = "From:" . $to;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
mail($from,$subject2,$message2,$headers2); // sends a copy of the message to the sender
// You can also use header('Location: thank_you.php'); to redirect to another page.
