0. Turn on error reporting and temporarily remove the @ symbol from your call to mail() so you can get some error information. 1. Try sending a message with very simple values to make sure mail() even works on your system. 2. Try commenting-out (going around) your foreach structure to see if something in there is weird. 3. Try echoing the values that you are passing to mail() to see if they make sense.

If you're running this locally, it probably won't work unless you've installed an SMTP server and configured PHP to use it.

thanks for replying.... Sir you are saying that it won't work on local, so if i upload it on server would it work???? Please reply..

It will if the server is configured properly. It would also work locally if you set up the local server to send e-mails with an SMTP server.
