Do you get any errors?

Would help alot if you could post them

Your assuming that the server its sendin from is set up to send mail itself. Is it?  Perhaps you have to define a mail server?  Post your errors.

@ JJohnsenDK
no errors appear its excute the php without displayin any errors
@the_oliver
i assumed that .. after i use mail function ... it will send through php but i wanna try to set up sending form how could i do that ?

If the php from did not spit out any errors then it is likley to be that your server is not set up to send mail correctly.  One common resion for this is that the server can not resolve address propaly?  Have you specified DNS server?

In the comand line try to ping something like www.phpfreaks.com and see weather it resolves them?  - Let us know.

Can you try running the folowing code insted:
[code]
$success = mail("you@whatwhatever.com", "testmail", "somecontent", "From: <jim@jim.com>");

if ($success)
{
  print "Sent fine";
}
else
{
print "Not working";
}[/code]

Works on mine so im hoping it might on yours!

Lastly try these to things:
check sendmail is running: something like: service sendmail status (not sure what OS your running
And post the last fiew lines of your send mail log.  somthing like
nano /var/log/maillog i guess.
