Hi.

What exactly is the problem?
Are you getting any errors?

The code itself looks OK. Should work.

No error and no output. I keep check my mail box but the mail is not coming.

Is it use mail function in php got other settings to allow the mail function to work?

If yes, please guide me where should i change the settings.

Thanks.

The mail() function returns a boolean value, indicating whether or not it was successful. So I recommend doing something like this:

if(mail(...)) {
  echo "Mail sent successfully.";
}
else {
  echo "Mail could not be sent!";
}
 

You will need set the values for 'SMTP' and 'smtp_port' in your php.ini file to a valid SMTP server.
