Looks like your mail function isn't executing properly. You can try debugging using var_dump or something.

Also, your code is logically incorrect. It should show the message only when the mail function executes successfully.

$send_mail = mail("recievers_mail_id@xyz.com", $subject, $message, $headers);
var_dump($send_mail);  // See what you get here. It'll probably show false.

if ($send_mail) {
   echo "Your mail has been sent successfuly ! Thank you for your feedback";
} else {
    echo "Email sending failed!";
}

i edited my code, it shows "bool(false) Email sending failed!" error. – Rkboss Jul 18 '16 at 06:26
Unfortunately, the mail function isn't configured enough to show you the appropriate error message. It returns only true and false. If you want a more reliable way, you should be using PHP Mailer. – Indrasis Datta Jul 18 '16 at 06:28

You have to use a php file url or use blank in action. Here you have to use action blank.

<form action="" id="form" method="post" name="form">

instead

<form action="#" id="form" method="post" name="form">
