  echo '<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">';
  echo '<head>';
  echo '<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />';
  echo '<title>';
  echo $title;
  echo '</title>';
  echo '</head>';
  echo '<body>';  

$to = "anup.karanjkar08@gmail.com;
$subject = $_REQUEST['Name'] + "Sent a Mail";
$message = $_REQUEST['Message'] ;
$from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ;
$headers = "From:" . $from;
$a= mail($to,$subject,$message);
if ($a) {
  echo "Message sent successfully";
}
else
{
  echo "Sorry there is an error.";
}
echo '</body>';
echo '</html>';

?>

          </div>
      </form>

Did you tried to execute the code.?I am sure that this will give you only syntax errors — 웃웃웃웃웃, Nov 14 '13 at 08:03
Contact to your hosting provider. My hosting provider doesn't allow mail() function. — Aycan Yaşıt, Nov 14 '13 at 08:05
I guess `$to = "anup.karanjkar08@gmail.com;` should be `$to = "anup.karanjkar08@gmail.com";` — Tobias, Nov 14 '13 at 08:06
Your best bet is to check whether your hosting provider has mail() enabled. Also, the domain/server itself could be black listed on gmail. Are you able to read bounced emails sent to the server? — Jorge Cevallos, Nov 14 '13 at 08:26

First add ending " in this line.

$to = "anup.karanjkar08@gmail.com";

Then try to run if it works.

Check with hosting provider that mail function in php is working.

He said that it shows message, so probably that was just typo and answer is not correct. – Elon Than Nov 14 '13 at 08:10
@FaddishWorm You just gave the answer in an edit of the question. xd – Loko Nov 14 '13 at 08:10
lol yea I know - my bad. I noticed coz of the syntax highlighting. – ddoor Nov 14 '13 at 08:11
He said the script prints "Message sent successfully". So that was a typo when copying to SO. This is not the right answer. – Jorge Cevallos Nov 14 '13 at 08:22
Hi its just copy paste mistake friend it's already there $to = "anup.karanjkar08@gmail.com"; – Anup Karanjkar Nov 14 '13 at 08:46

changed these lines, concatination used in php is . not +, + used in javscript $subject = $_REQUEST['Name'] . "Sent a Mail";

        <?php
          echo '<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">';
          echo '<head>';
          echo '<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />';
          echo '<title>';
          echo $title;
          echo '</title>';
          echo '</head>';
          echo '<body>';  

            $to = "anup.karanjkar08@gmail.com";
            $subject = $_REQUEST['Name'] . "Sent a Mail"; // changed this line  removed + 
            $message = $_REQUEST['Message'] ;
            $from = $_REQUEST['Email'] ;
            $headers = "From:" . $from;
            $a= mail($to,$subject,$message, $headers); // added headers here
            if ($a) {
              echo "Message sent successfully";
            }
            else
            {
              echo "Sorry there is an error.";
            }
            echo '</body>';
            echo '</html>';

        ?>

Reason for mail not sending,

ISP Blocks

An increasing number of ISP’s are blocking port 25, the port used to send email. Many of the major ISP’s, including NetZero, MSN, Earthlink, AT&T, Comcast and Verizon, block port 25 in an attempt to control spam. If your ISP blocks port 25, then you will be unable to send email out of your server. This is not a server problem but a direct block by your ISP. We can often work around these blocks by configuring your mail server to listen to additional ports.
