Hey.

Do you have the error messages turned on?

To use the mail function, you need to have a SMTP server set up. On Linux, there would need to be a sendmail server set up. On Windows, a SMTP server. Also, on Windows you may need to alter the "SMTP" and "smtp_port" directives in the "php.ini" file to match the values for your STMP server.

If using a local server is not an option, you may want to consider upgrading to one of the mailer classes, such as PHPMailer or Swift Mailer. They are generally easier to work with.

The code you are using should work fine. If it isn't working, the server you are using must not be set up to send emails.

then how to configure the phpmailer function in my server

You must not confuse the mail() function and PHPMailer. They are two completely different things. - The mail() function is just meant to be used to send simple emails on servers with a very simple, standard mail server setup. - The PHPMailer or Swift Mailer classes are much more advanced. They can handle all sorts of server setups and are much more easily configurable and offer much more detailed debugging.

Whatever you do, you need to figure out how your mail server is set up. If it is a basic sendmail or local SMTP server, you may well be able to use the mail() function. - If it is anything more complex, you may want to use PHPMailer (or Swift Mailer) instead.
