You do not check the return value to see if your mail call succeeded. Are you sure it went through all the code correctly?

i checked it but it just displays success msg wherein mail not received

Richard MacCutchan 26-Feb-16 6:57am

What is the value returned by the mail command? If it says success, then there must be something else wrong, and the only way to find out is by using your debugger. It is impossible for anyone here to guess what happens when this code runs.

the user entered value is returned to the mail command.

See the comments at http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_mail_mail.asp. And if you want sample code then Google will find you many that work.

Hi,

This code is working fine on Ubuntu, we have just configured the sendmail by following these instructions:

Getting the PHP mail() Function (sendmail) to Work on Ubuntu 14.04 | Luke Peters[^]

Hope this will work for you!
