Have you got a mailserver set up on your local machine? It doesn't sound like it.. — Farkie, Jun 01 '18 at 06:27

If you are testing on your localhost you most likely dont have an SMTP setup. You have to setup an smtp connection for php to send the message.

I would suggest using something like phpmailer which makes it easier when working on local testing servers.
