        echo"<h2> something went wrongg!</h2>";
    }


?>

i cant send mail from my html form . please help me out what mistake i have done ?

Switch on error reporting and see what errors you get. It would be nice to know whether you get nothing, "message sent successfully" or "something went wrongg!" as output. — KIKO Software, Nov 09 '17 at 09:21

I think your problem is that your PHP script 'sendEmail.php' `requires()` itself, or at least that seems weird. — KIKO Software, Nov 09 '17 at 09:25
@romaltandel im using nothing just these two files alone . i dont know anything about these mail function — Shankiyan Shanki, Nov 09 '17 at 09:45
Check php.ini to see if mail() function is enabled on your server (or use a php lib for send emails) — Roy Bogado, Nov 09 '17 at 10:42
Create a .php file with **** on it, call it in a browser and check the function mail() — Roy Bogado, Nov 09 '17 at 12:25
Call it via server... http://www.your-server.com/folder/nameOfFile.php — Roy Bogado, Nov 09 '17 at 12:29

Try to put this code on the top of your php file and check for any errors:

error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);

Also, is the sendEmail.php requiring itself? Because this will not work.

If not, can you provide us with the sendEmail.php so we can understand easier the problem?
