I am sorry to ask suck a trivial thing, but I really do not use php, and I am trying the simplest code to work, to just send an email with no captchas or anything complicated.

<?php 
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email']; 
$message = $_POST['message'];
$to = "some-email@live.com"; 
$subject = "New message";

mail($to, $subject, "From: " . $name, $message, "", "");
echo "Your message has been sent";

?>

Ok, What is the issue you are getting? – urfusion Nov 18 '17 at 10:04
@urfusion the email does not reach my email . – DGAcode Nov 18 '17 at 10:06
@urfusion Please give the error that you saw on your screen – Abdul Rahman A Samad Nov 18 '17 at 10:06
@AbdulRahmanASamad : I am not getting any error because this is not my code. :D – urfusion Nov 18 '17 at 10:07
@urfusion you have to turn on "show error" on your PHP installation. – Abdul Rahman A Samad Nov 18 '17 at 10:08
@urfusion I really do not have an error the echo is printing when submitted, but the email is getting nowhere. – DGAcode Nov 18 '17 at 10:08
Using mail() often needs special server configuration. Some webhosts with shared servers even forbid mail(). What's your runtime environment? – iquellis Nov 18 '17 at 10:09
Microsoft is infamous for black-holing mail from servers without reputation. Either try a different target address, or maybe try https://www.mail-tester.com/. – Don't Panic Nov 18 '17 at 10:09
@mattGibson Yes, maybe somebody already asked something similar. But not the same. – DGAcode Nov 18 '17 at 10:09
@iquellis I have a weird hosting this time with no access to it, I will ask for access. – DGAcode Nov 18 '17 at 10:11
@AbdulRahmanASamad To tell you the truth I was trying this directly on the hosting since I really don't use Php to much... – DGAcode Nov 18 '17 at 10:14
What does that even mean? :-) You tried with Gmail or not? Your code shows @live.com. In any case, Gmail is almost as bad - check spam folder but it might just disappear, especially if you are sending from your own development machine. – Don't Panic Nov 18 '17 at 10:15
Then you all think this code is good? – DGAcode Nov 18 '17 at 10:17
