Are you testing the code online or via localhost? The mail() function doesn't work in localhost without SMTP.

  • i know that mail() not work on localhost. testing my code online at http://webprojects.co/dev_wed/mail.php – Patel Parth Jan 04 '17 at 11:05
  • I run the exact the same code with an success at dhjcastelijns.nl/index.php. Maybe it has something to do with your webserver? I had this problem once on my Raspberry Pi and it was because there was no mailserver installed. –  Jan 04 '17 at 11:07
  • so there is no problem with my code I guess I am facing the same issue here can you help me how can i install mail severer ? – Patel Parth Jan 04 '17 at 11:11
  • Get in contact with your host, alot of hosts have disabled the mail() function for anti-spam purposes. You might need to use SMTP instead. You can also check the SMTP configuration in your php.ini file, is the SMTP port set to 25? –  Jan 04 '17 at 11:16
  • I do not have access to php.ini file let me contact my host to check is mail() function is disabled or not.Thanks a lot buddy – Patel Parth Jan 04 '17 at 11:21
