Can you describe "is not working"?

What isn't working... exactly?

If it doesn't error but you don't get the email,
try a bit of debugging (as i like to call it)

try:
<?php
$to = "nagarajan22@gmail.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "y2n_007in@yahoo.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
$send = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if(!$send){
echo "error";
} else {
echo "Mail Sent.";
}
?>


Now run this script and if it still says "Mail Sent." then i have no idea.
If it says "error" then you may not have you php.ini setting right or something.

You won't get an error because PHP doesn't have built-in SMTP error handling. The mail function sends the email, & doesn't care what happens to it. It's possible that your problem lies beyond the scope of PHP.

Is this server a mail server?
Is port 25 open?
Are the mail headers malformed?
Did the receiving email address/isp consider it or you spam?

Are you receiving any errors? Does this code not work that way you intended it? When asking for help there are a couple items that are vital in order for someone to properly help you:
  • Post the code you're having problems with
  • Post the exact error you're receiving, if you are receiving one
  • If no error explain what the code is doing versus what you want it to do
  • Post your question in the body of your post, not the description field
