if you're working in localhost you can try SMTP mail function... — Mahesh, Sep 18 '17 at 06:58
@Mahesh i'm working on localhost ........ so, can you please elaborate how to use SMTP function — tom, Sep 18 '17 at 07:06
is that a TOMCAT server? really? can you try it in Apache httpd server? or XAMPP? — Giri Annamalai M, Sep 18 '17 at 13:38
@blacmoon i'm using tomcat server, is there any problem with tomcat server?? should i need to try it with xampp — tom, Sep 19 '17 at 04:40
Yes. You should try. Not only xampp, apache httpd or apache2 in lampp server. As far as I know, php is perfect compatible with apache httpd. — Giri Annamalai M, Sep 19 '17 at 06:59

$mail  = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); 
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; 
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; 
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 465; 
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "test@gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "test@12#";
$mail->AddReplyTo("test@gmail.com", "test mail");
$mail->AddAddress('test@gmail.com', 'test mail ');
$mail->Body    = "message:hiii";

if ($mail->send())
    //if (mail($subject,$message, $headers))
   {
    echo "Thank you for sending mail us!";
    } else {
    echo "Mailed Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
    }
?>

from this link you can download php mailer library – Mahesh Sep 18 '17 at 07:13
thanku ......but in this you are using a static mail id to send mail – tom Sep 18 '17 at 07:14
yes,for username and password we have to use statis mail id(gmail account)....To mail id we can add dynamically..... – Mahesh Sep 18 '17 at 07:17
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18379238/send-email-with-php-from-html-form-on-submit-with-the-same-script please check this link...... – tom Sep 18 '17 at 07:23
that code will only work in live server...it will not work in localhost...if you're working in live sever,no need to use SMTP mailer...normal php mail function will work there.. – Mahesh Sep 18 '17 at 07:26
okay...but they didn't provide user id and password......that was confusing me – tom Sep 18 '17 at 07:32
yes tom...in live host no need to mention anything...but in localhost we have to give our mail id and password for mail authentication....then only mail function will work... – Mahesh Sep 18 '17 at 07:36
but for authentication we always required a user id and password.......sorry if this is a silly question but i'm confused – tom Sep 18 '17 at 07:46
while configuring your live host definitely you have to configure your email account...but in localhost you just download and install xampp or wamp...so that is the difference...in live host automatically takes your email configurations...but in localhost we have to use SMTP configuration with our email account... – Mahesh Sep 18 '17 at 08:11
still getiing error --> The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists. – tom Sep 18 '17 at 10:56
see, i just edited my question. – tom Sep 18 '17 at 11:14

Try this code helps you its basic code for php mail.

you can download phpmailer https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/releases/tag/v5.2.21 and config it.

<?php
    /*https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/releases/tag/v5.2.21*/
    require('phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
    $mail = new PHPMailer();
    $subject = "Test Mail using PHP mailer";
    $content = "<b>This is a test mail using PHP mailer class.</b>";
    $email = "your@gmail.com";
    $mail->IsSMTP();
    $mail->SMTPDebug = 0;
    $mail->SMTPAuth = TRUE;
    $mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
    $mail->Port     = 25; //587;  
    $mail->Username = "";                   //smtp username        
    $mail->Password = "";                           //smtp Password
    $mail->Host     = "smtp.sendgrid.net";                  //Host server
    $mail->Mailer   = "smtp";                               //mail through
    $mail->SetFrom("yourmail id", "karthikeyan"); //From
    $mail->AddReplyTo("replay mail id", "karthikeyan");      //Replay To
    $mail->AddAddress($email,"TEST");   // To   
    $mail->Subject = $subject;                                      //Subject   
    $mail->WordWrap   = 80;
    $mail->MsgHTML($content);
    $mail->SMTPDebug  = 2;                     // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
    $mail->IsHTML(true);
    if(!$mail->Send()){
        //echo "<pre>"; print_r($mail->ErrorInfo); //php error debuging         
    } 
    else {
    echo "Mail sent";
    }
    ?>


Use this format


-Mail \\Main Folder
    -phpemail.php \\File    
    -phpMailer \\Folder(library file)
        -PHPMailerAutoload.php
        -etc.. files

Use this one its also working

<?php
// Pear Mail Library -> https://github.com/pear/Mail
// http://fr.apkhere.com/app/com.netease.mail

require_once ('Mail-master/Mail.php');

$from = '<yourmail@gmail.com>';
$to = '<yourmail@gmail.com>';
$subject = 'Hi!';
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";

$headers = array(
    'From' => $from,
    'To' => $to,
    'Subject' => $subject
);

$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array(
        'host' => 'smtp.sendgrid.net',
        'port' => '25',
        'auth' => true,
        'username' => 'smtp usename',
        'password' => 'smtp password'
    ));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
    echo('<p>' . $mail->getMessage() . '</p>');
} else {
    echo('<p>Message successfully sent!</p>');
} ?>

phpMailer is a library put all library files in phpmailer(folder) and use Like this --------- require('phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php'); not like this ------------- require 'PHPMailerAutoload.php'; place your sendemail.php out side the phpmailer folder and once again try this otherwise your server is a problem. – karthikeyan Sep 19 '17 at 09:13
