Answer 1

I'd like to add a bit more information in @Daya's answer and I want to do bit modification in his answer and that is following:

If the email will send successfully then not an issue but if mail function has error then how could developer will get the error and for that he/she can use error_get_last() function for getting last error and the modification is following:

if(!$mail) {
  print_r( 'Mailer error: ' . error_get_last());
} else {
  echo 'Message has been sent.';
}
